How Transcanal Endoscopic Debridement + Tympanoplasty is performed
Cholesteatoma is removed and the tympanic membrane is repaired via a transcanal endoscopic approach. Endoscopes with different angles and micro-instruments are commonly used to separate keratinized epithelium under magnified vision, addressing the tympanic cavity and hidden spaces; microscopic or limited mastoid procedures may be combined if necessary. Repair often uses fascia or cartilage, and staging is determined by exposure and stability. Postoperative monitoring includes bleeding, infection, and vestibular reactions. The goal is to remove the lesion, maintain a dry ear, and preserve basic hearing. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
