Endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty for tympanic perforations: An outpatient minimally invasive procedure

Our study revealed that the rate of graft success and hearing results of endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty and microscopic myringoplasty are comparable for repairing perforations of the tympanic membrane. Visualization of the perforation margin by otoscopy did not affect the rate of graft success. However, endoscopic transcanal myringoplasty is less invasive because this technique does not require postauricular incision, canalplasty, and general anesthesia.
