ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
We developed a novel keyhole surgery, named "percutaneous endoscopic ear surgery" (PEES), with the aim of further reducing the invasiveness of otologic surgery. We reported the cases we encountered and retrospectively analyzed the invasiveness of PEES.METHODS:
We analyzed the ears of eight patients who underwent PEES for mastoid lesions that could not be manipulated with transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) at our hospital between July 2021 and November 2022. We performed PEES alone in three patients, including one case of type A (preauricular incision) and two cases of type B (retroauricular incision). The last five patients underwent combined endoscopic ear surgery, which is simultaneous PEES and TEES. In these cases, one patient underwent type A PEES, and four patients underwent type B PEES.RESULTS:
PEES was performed in all patients without converting to conventional microscopic mastoidectomy. The mean length of skin incisions was 19.1 ± 4.5 mm, which was smaller than that in conventional mastoidectomy. In all cases, the average length of the major axis of the keyhole was <10 mm, indicating that sufficient minimally invasive surgery was achieved. The average depth from the keyhole to the deepest site was 21.6 ± 8.9 mm. There was no change in the mean hearing level before and after the surgery.CONCLUSION:
PEES is a minimally invasive procedure for manipulating lesions in the mastoid. In addition, the combination of PEES and TEES is an ideal, minimally invasive procedure that can be used to treat all regions of the temporal bone.
