Endoscopes in Ear Surgery (ESS) allows enhanced surgical visualization and
illumination. The distal part of the scopes can even be angled to allow a wider view of
the operative area. Transcanal endoscopic techniques have transformed the external
ear canal into an endoscopic approach.
The benefits of EES are wider views, enhanced imaging capabilities and increased
magnification and ways to see otherwise poorly visualisable portions of the middel ear. Suction

Compared with microscope-assisted surgery, endoscopic tympanoplasty has been
shown to require a shorter operating time in some instances (Emre et al. 2019)
(Journal of Otology 15 (2020) 27-32). The major limitations of ESS has been the fact
that it is a single-handed technique and that visualisation is often limited by bleedings.

The ESS instruments allows the surgeon to use the one-hand technique. The
instruments are a suction - cuttin - dissection combination. These give you major
benefits in ESS and reduce the limitations of the endoscopic approach.

With the ESS you have on hand for the scope and the other for the instrument. You
avoid the constant change of instruments and suction devices.

Benefits:
• Different tips in one design keeps your handling consistent
• Mini working tips combines with suction cannulas
• Less blood or tissue parts in the field of view
• Instrument can be kept in the surgical field
