Özet
© JLO (1984) Limited 2015.Objectives: The use of endoscopic techniques is becoming more widespread in otological and neuro-otological surgery. One such procedure, endoscopic tympanoplasty, is used in chronic otitis media treatment. This study aimed to analyse the results of endoscopic transcanal cartilage tympanoplasty. Methods: Data of tubotympanic chronic otitis media patients who underwent transcanal endoscopic type I cartilage tympanoplasty between June 2012 and May 2013 were analysed. The main outcome measures were graft success and hearing improvement. Results: Graft success rates were 94.3 per cent and 92.5 per cent at post-operative months one and six, respectively. Post-operative air-bone gap values were significantly improved over pre-operative values (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Transcanal endoscopic type I cartilage tympanoplasty is a minimally invasive, effective and reliable surgical treatment option for chronic otitis media.
