摘　　要：BACKGROUND Endoscopic ear surgery(EES)provides a magnified,high-definition view of the otological surgical field.EES allows otologists to avoid surgical incisions and associated postoperative complications.It is an ideal technique for the perfor-mance and teaching of tympanoplasty.AIM To examine the efficacy of total Endoscopic Push Through Tragal Cartilage Tympanoplasty(EPTTCT),at our institution over a 10-year period.METHODS A retrospective analysis of 168 cases of EPTTCT for closure of small to medium tympanic membrane perforations from 2013-2023 was conducted.Patient sex,age range(pediatric vs adult),etiology of injury,success rate,complications,and postoperative hearing status were collected.RESULTS Graft uptake results indicated success in 94%of patients,with less than a 2%complication rate.Postoperative pure tone audiometry demonstrated hearing status improvement in 69%of patients.CONCLUSION EPTTCT has been shown to be effective in tympanic membrane perforation closures with minimal complications.This study further demonstrates the efficacy and safety of these procedures in a single-center review.
