Endoscopy has changed the practice of otology in both operative and clinic settings. Endoscopes increase the visibility of anterior tympanic perforations expanding the criteria for in-office repair. Endoscopic myringoplasty techniques using tissue-engineered grafts and porcine-based extracellular grafts are described.
