The use of endoscopes has become prevalent in modern otology. Originally used for diagnostic purposes, the endoscopic technique has gained popularity over time, leading to exclusive endoscopic ear surgery approaches. The endoscopic technique is performed through the auditory canal and requires precise and delicate maneuvers, as the technique must be performed single-handedly. It provides a panoramic view of the middle ear and allows access to hard-to-reach areas, facilitating the elimination of disease by using angled endoscopes1,2. In ossicular chain repair, modern high-definition (HD) or 4k endoscopy, along with its illuminative capabilities directed at specific structures of interest, such as the stapes or its footplate, greatly assists in the recognition of both anatomical and pathological variances3,4,5.
Ossicular chain destruction commonly results from chronic otitis media (COM), but trauma and neoplasms can alter the normal middle ear and, therefore, reduce its sound transmission capabilities6,7. Restoration of normal tympanic membrane (TM) and ossicular chain function has its roots in the 1950s8. The surgical techniques used to treat various pathologies of the middle ear aim not only to eliminate the underlying disease process but also to restore normal auditory function9.Over the past seven decades, various ossiculoplasty (OPL) techniques and prostheses have been studied and reported in the literature7,10,11.&#160;Bioinert materials like titanium gained popularity due to their lightweight, rigidity, and good visualization of their distal end during surgery. Nevertheless, these prostheses are quite expensive, and the reported rate of extrusion (1%-5%) is not negligible12. Autologous materials have demonstrated comparable effectiveness to synthetic prostheses. However, they do present certain drawbacks, such as longer surgical durations required for the remodeling process, the potential for retaining cholesteatoma, and availability limitations depending on the condition of the ossicular chain13,14.
According to Tsetsos et al., exclusive endoscopic ossiculoplasty (EEO) is associated with similar postoperative hearing results compared to the traditional microscopic approach15. A trend towards reduced morbidity and a shorter operative time for the endoscopic approach has been observed. Therefore, EEO can be considered a valid surgical option for reestablishing a functioning ossicular chain with acceptable hearing restoration in children and adults16.
This study aims to provide a comprehensive insight into the various technical refinements and latest developments for EEO. It presents different OPL techniques along with representative outcome data.

In modern ontology, the use of endoscopes has evolved from diagnostics to exclusive endoscopic ear surgery. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive understanding of the various endoscopic osteoplasty techniques and support their integration into clinical practice. The focused illumination of specific middle ear structures, such as the stay piece and its foot plate allows great precision in prosthesis placement.Furthermore, it facilitates the detection of both anatomical and pathological variances. The endoscopic technique is performed through the auditory canal and requires precise and delicate maneuvers as it's performed single-handedly. Before implementing this technique in the operating room, we strongly advise hands-on training.

Techniques of Endoscopic Ossiculoplasty

The utilization of endoscopes in modern otology has evolved from diagnostic purposes to the development of exclusive endoscopic ear surgery. This technique offers a panoramic view of the middle ear and provides an optimal magnification of the oval window region, the stapes' suprastructure, and the footplate, allowing great precision in prosthesis positioning during ossiculoplasty (OPL). Various techniques for ossicular chain reconstruction have been described in the literature. Either autologous or synthetic materials can be used for reconstruction. The use of a patient's own tissue minimizes the risk of implant rejection or extrusion of the prosthesis through the tympanic membrane. On the other hand, synthetic materials like titanium are light and rigid and do not require time-consuming prosthesis remodeling. The main objective of this article is to present a comprehensive step-by-step guide that serves as a surgical manual for exclusive endoscopic OPL. This guide will explain various forms of OPL using synthetic and autologous materials. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various surgical techniques and support the integration into clinical practice.

Exclusive Endoscopic ossiculoplasty (EEO) is a promising and minimally invasive approach for the treatment of conductive hearing loss due to ossicular chain disruptions and associated middle ear pathologies. Herein, step-by-step instructions and a discussion of various endoscopic ossiculoplasty techniques are presented.

To begin, prepare all the necessary surgical tools and equipment for the procedure After elevation of the tympanomeatal flap and establishing access to the middle ear, use a needle dissector to detach the chorda tympani from the long process of the incus. Then slightly resect the scutum with the ultrasonic device or a bone curette. Identify the incudostapedial joint and cautiously disarticulate the lenticular process from the stapes head using a micro hook or a small round knife.Then gently push the incus upward to detach it from the head of the malleus. and remove the incus by pulling the long process inferiorly and then laterally. To grind the graft, hold the inus using a grasping forceps and use a diamond bur to carefully drill both the long and short processes of the incus until the level of the incus body is reached.On the opposite side of the former long process, drill an acetabulum approximately one millimeter wide to accommodate the stapes head. Next, position the remodeled incus inside the tympanic cavity. Using a microsuction tip or a needle, precisely locate the acetabulum onto the stapes head, and if appropriate, the anterior surface in contact with the malleus handle.Stabilize the incus into position using resorbable gelatin sponges, and close the tympanomeatal flap. The overall graft intake rate showed a success rate of 98.3%Preoperatively, the average air-bone gap was 25.24 decibels, whereas after surgery, the average air-bone gap significantly reduced to 17.10 decibels.

Exclusive Endoscopic Malleus Head Interposition

To begin, prepare all the necessary surgical tools and equipment for the procedure. Disarticulate the incus from the incudostapedial joint, and then remove the incus. Identify the malleus and dissect the chorda tympani from its neck.Using the Malleus Nipper, transect the malleus neck and remove its head for its intended use in the interposition procedure. To grind the graft, hold the malleus head using a grasping forceps, and using a burr, carefully drill until the level of the malleus neck is reached. Drill an acetabulum on the malleus head approximately one millimeter wide to accommodate the head.After carrying the graft towards the tympanic cavity, position the malleus head onto the stapes head and readjust its interposition using a microneedle. Stabilize the malleus head interposition with gelatin sponges, and close the tympanomeatal flap.
