Analysis of the Importance of High Level Operating Room Microscope in Middle Ear Cholesteatoma Surgery, Comparison of Microscopic and Endoscopic Surgical Approaches
Project no. 22607 · Status: Kapanmış (Yayın bekleniyor) · 2021
Summary
<p>Cholesteatoma is a non-cancerous, keratinized, abnormal, cyst or epithelial skin mass in the middle ear cavity, behind the eardrum, that frequently recurs in middle ear infections and rarely develops congenitally. It is often caused by repeated middle ear infections. The basic principle in cholesteatoma surgery is to completely clear the middle ear cavity and pneumotized cells in the mastoid part of the temporal bone without leaving residual cholesteatoma tissue. In case of residual cholesteatoma matrix, residual residivism is seen and more challenging revision surgeries are required. Today, microscopic or endoscopic approaches can be preferred in cholesteatoma surgery. Classical microscopic and endoscopic approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, the features of high-level operating room microscopes may lead to a new development area in cholesteatoma surgery. Cholesteatoma residualism rates and revision surgery requirement rates may change with a high-level microscope with these new technical features. For this purpose, in this study, the results will be analyzed by checking the success of classical microscopic and endoscopic approaches in cholesteatoma surgery with a high-level microscope, whether the high-level operating room microscope will bring a higher success rate to cholesteatoma surgery.</p>
