Objective
Chronic otitis media with anterior perforation is a challenging
condition to treat with a microscope especially if the canal is narrow
or has overhang. The endoscope provides the advantage of wide-angle view
and transcanal access avoiding postaural approach and canaloplasty. The
aim of this study was to compare the anatomical, functional outcomes,
and surgical duration between endoscopic and microscopic type I
tympanoplasty performed for anterior perforation
