“…Modified radical mastoidectomy is the primary treatment method for suppurative otitis media. 1 2 The main objective is to remove the lesion, achieve a dry ear and preserve or reconstruct hearing. 3 This surgical procedure involves limited operating space and numerous important anatomical structures, 4 which is typically conducted under a microscope, maintaining a clear surgical field of view is crucial, as a blurred field may lead to several issues, including difficulty in identifying anatomical landmarks, longer operative time and increased risk of surgical complications.…”
