Quantitative Study of Bone Removal Region in Transcanal Endoscopic Approach to the Attic and Antrum Using a 70° Endoscope

BACKGROUND: Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery enables surgeons to operate with few blind areas, and using an angled endoscope expands its usefulness.

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery enables surgeons to operate with few blind areas, and using an angled endoscope expands its usefulness. We have previously reported the usefulness of a 70° endoscope in transcanal endoscopic ear surgery, but no quantitative study has been performed. We quantitatively clarified the difference between a microscope and various endoscopes in the bone removal region, especially a 70° endoscope, in the transcanal approach. METHODS: A temporal bone model for ear surgery training was used to compare the use of a microscope, a 0° endoscope, a 30° endoscope, a 45° endoscope, and a 70° endoscope. The drilled mass during atticotomy or atticoantrostomy and the size of the reconstructed graft were measured when the formed pseudo-lesion was removed. RESULTS: The amount of bone excision was 57% and the size of the reconstructed graft was 32% when using a 70° endoscope compared with the case of using a microscope, both of which were the smallest of the various endoscopes. CONCLUSION: It was quantitatively shown that using a 70° endoscope in transcanal endoscopic ear surgery reduced the bone removal region. We believe that a 70° endoscope is a useful tool for performing a minimally invasive and reliable surgery.
