Since the introduction of endoscopic ear surgery (EES) in the 1990s, endoscopic systems have been utilized in a number of ear surgeries including myringoplasty and tympanoplasty. Endoscopic tympanoplasty (ET) is described as a minimally invasive surgery for surgical repair of the tympanic membrane (TM) with comparable graft survival and hearing outcomes to conventional microscopic surgery (CMT). In the present review, we aimed to outline the surgical benefits and potential drawbacks of ET with clinical outcomes in order to determine whether ET constitutes a proper alternative to CMT.
