Abstract
Transcanal endoscopic cartilage inlay tympanoplasty offers a practical, minimally invasive approach to tympanoplasty for children of any age. It avoids postauricular or endaural incisions, tympanomeatal flap elevation, and canalplasty. Graft survival is uniform. Microperforation at the graft margins remained in 1/3 of children. Technical modifications may lead to higher rates of tympanic closure.
