Popis: Endoscopy has changed the practice of otology in both operative and clinic settings. Endoscopes increase the visibility of anterior tympanic perforations expanding the criteria for in-office repair. Endoscopic myringoplasty techniques using tissue-engineered grafts and porcine-based extracellular grafts are described. Endoscopic inspection of deep retraction pockets is a new important tool for pre-operative surgical assessment. This section also discusses the use and potential benefits of intratympanic injections for sudden sensorineural hearing loss and Meniere's disease.
