Endoscopes are not new for otologist but it took a long way to use them first for documentation and then in modern endoscopic ear surgery (EES).

We will discuss our experience with the use of endoscopes after five years adopting this approach and we will explain how the endoscopy has modified our management in some cases. The benefits and disadvantages will also be discussed.

We will show our learning curve in EES, our difficulties in adopting the use of endoscopes and our thoughts about how endoscopes can improve our everyday practice.
