Endoscopic ear surgery, which has emerged as a new method in ear operations, has replaced all traditional methods. The greatest feature of this method, as in other endoscopic operations, is that the surgery is performed without making any incision on the patient..
Prof. Dr. Tayfun Apuhan, specialist in the Ear, Nose and Throat Department of Hisar Hospital Intercontinental, provided information about endoscopic ear surgery.
No external incision is needed in ear surgery
The use of endoscopes in ear surgery allows the operation to be performed through the external ear canal. Thus, no visible external incision is required during ear surgery, and no stitches, dressings or bandages are needed after ear surgery.
Endoscopic surgery largely prevents tissue loss
Because endoscopes have a wide and angled field of view, it is possible to reach many deep and hidden areas that cannot be visualized under a microscope. The use of an endoscope in ear surgery provides excellent visualization of anatomical structures and a clearer understanding of the disease in the middle ear, allowing direct access to the disease-causing agent without damaging healthy tissues. In addition, since endoscopes cause less tissue loss than microscopic surgery, ear surgery is performed with greater precision.
All types of ear surgery can be performed with the endoscopic method
Every type of ear surgery, from eardrum repair to tumor surgery, can be performed with an endoscope. Since there is no external incision, the absence of any surgical scar during the post-operative healing process provides a significant cosmetic advantage. Thus, wound healing is faster and patients can recover in a much shorter time.
