ABSTRACT
Up to the present day, the limited use of the endoscope in otosurgery has been explained by most authors by the historically established use of an operating microscope. The obvious advantages of endoscopic surgery create the prerequisites for its successful use in one of the most hard-to-access and anatomically complicated areas. There are rather old publications devoted to the use of endoscope analogs in the middle ear surgery. However, most of them deal with the use of this technique in adults. Improving the efficacy of ear surgery in children remains one of the most relevant healthcare problems. One of the promising trends for solving this problem is the use of endoscope at the stages of otosurgery. Thus, the development of new methods of ear surgery in children is still a very important task. One of the promising trends is the use of endoscope in otosurgery.
