Dr. Rivas and Dr. Isaacson describe the evolution of endoscopic ear surgery and its adoption in the United States. They emphasize the utility of the endoscopic approach for visualization of the middle ear. They then delve into indications and anatomic considerations when selecting the endoscopic approach. Dr. Isaacson states that for most diseases limited to the middle ear, he uses the endoscopic approach. For extensive mastoid disease, aggressive cholesteatomas, or skull base disorders, he prefers the microscope. Dr. Rivas touches upon his guidelines for selecting his approach for cholesteatomas and notes that the presence of ossicular or lateral canal erosion or an ossified mastoid typically preclude his use of the endoscope. He then highlights the benefit of the endoscopic approach in congenital, pediatric, and revision procedures. The advantages of both the endoscopic and microscopic approaches are also considered. The discussion then focuses on optimal pre-operative and anesthesia set up to limit bleeding in endoscopic ear surgery. Lastly, the role of using endoscopes for a thorough ear exam is emphasized. --- RESOURCES Dr. Rivas Twitter Handle: @Alejorivasc Dr. Isaacson’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC43ovy9FzRT9OtBF2tUDjsg International Working Group of Endoscopic Ear Surgery: https://iwgees.org Online Dissecting Course from Sydney: https://sydneyearendoscopy.com/free-online-dissection-guide/ Dr. Isaacson and colleague’s work on endoscopic ear surgery outcomes in pediatric ossiculoplasty: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lary.28526
