Traditional microscopic tympanoplasty has long been a standard intervention, but a clinical gap exists in comprehensively comparing its quality-of-life outcomes with newer transcanal endoscopic approaches; to address this, Rubeena Arora and colleagues aimed to compare the success rates and patient-reported parameters of endoscopic versus microscopic tympanoplasty. Therefore, the retrospective study compared the 12-month outcomes of endoscopic versus conventional microscopic Type 1 tympanoplasty in 195 patients with inactive chronic otitis media. The researchers evaluated graft success, hearing improvement, operative time, and postoperative pain for both surgical approaches. Thus, the study concludes that clinicians may consider prioritizing transcanal endoscopic tympanoplasty to optimize operative efficiency and enhance the early postoperative recovery experience for patients with inactive mucosal COM.
