Results of endoscopic transcanal tympanoplasty performed by a young surgeon in a secondary hospital

The Outcome of Endoscopic Assisted Underlay Tragal Cartilage Myringoplasty

“…(14) GokgozMC et al study at 2018 the take rate was 94% of fifty patient and 6 months postop. (15) Another study conducted by Leandro De Borborema Garcia et al, study in 2015, included 22 patients foundthat after 3 months of surgery, closure of TM perforation reported in 86.4% of cases (16) Raj et al at 2001 found graft take rate 90% this result is consistent with our study. (17) A significant improvement in the hearing outcome was reported where the average ABG was 31 dB preoperatively and it changed (improved) to 16 dB at 6 to 8 weeks postoperatively, with signifcaint difference (P<0.05) .…”

Does microscopic experience influence learning curve in endoscopic ear surgery? A multicentric study

“…Many papers have described so far the outcomes and the benefits of endoscopic ear surgery, particularly with respect to tympanoplasty [1 , 6 , 12 , 13] , as well as many have performed a comparison between endoscopy and microscopy [14][15][16] . However, few studies explored the learning curve in endoscopic ear surgery [8][9][10] and none has focused on what is like for a surgeon already trained in microscopy to deal with the endoscopic learning curve and what are the main difficulties compared to a neophyte surgeon. This appear in our opinion to be a critical issue which could influence the spread of the endoscopic technique.…”

“…These speculations, however, have never been confirmed by any scientific reference so far. Training and staged learning curve are in fact matter of debate in the surgical community and few reports concerning learning curve in EES are available, making this issue still unclear [9][10][11] .…”

İki yeni kulak burun boğaz uzmanının ilk bir yıllık sürede yaptıkları ameliyatların ve komplikasyonlara yaklaşımlarının retrospektif değerlendirilmesi

“…Tekrar ameliyat olmayı kabul eden hastanın anterior kadranda kalan perforasyonu fasya ile kapatılmış ve kontrollerde greft zar intakt ve sağlıklı olarak izlenmiştir. Özellikle endoskopik timpanoplastiye bağlı komplikasyonlar değerlendirildiğinde endoskopun oluşturabileceği mekanik hasar, ksenon ışık kaynağının oluşturabileceği termal hasar, greft başarısızlığı, korda timpani hasarına bağlı tat alma bozukluğu, fasiyal sinir hasarına bağlı kalıcı ya da geçici fasiyal paralizi ile greft alınan sahada oluşan hematom ve ağrı sayılabilir (21). Az sıklıkta yapılan iki total tiroidektomi ve iki süperfisyel parotidektomi ameliyatı sırasında sinir monitorizasyonu, sinir bulunduktan sonra teyit amacıyla kullanılmıştır (22).…”
