Endoscopic vs. microscopic tympanoplasty in children: a retrospective case-control study
Endoscopic tympanoplasty in pediatric patients achieves similar audiological outcomes and graft intake rates compared to the microscopic approach while offering significant advantages, including reduced operation times and lower complication rates. This minimally invasive approach is highly effective especially regarding cholesteatoma resection and provides excellent functional and structural outcomes.
