Endoscopy may be the only way of visualisation in transcanal myringoplasty for the retraction pocket, stapedoplasty and transcanal ossiculoplasty. In canal wali up or second look tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy and posterior tympanotomy endoscopy may serve as an additional point of view supported the classical microscopical technique. In result of many manners in surgical treatment of chronic otitis media, there are very concept for endoscopy application. In the ENT Department at Medical University of Warsaw were performed 53 procedures by aid of endoscopy in period from September 2009 to December 2010. In this study there were 18 canal wali up tympanoplasties, 12 second look tympanoplasties and 8 canal wali down tympanoplasties. According to authors' experience endoscopy is the most useful in: 1. verification of cholestatoma removal radicancy, 2. second look tympanoplasty via posterior tympanotomy, 3. inspection of the Eustachian tube orifice, 4. assessment of ossiculoplasty efficiency, 5. evaluation of myringoplasty. There were three cases of cholesteatoma recurrence in the study found only due to endoscope support. In authors' opinion, the endoscopy is the useful tool in surgical treatment of chronic otitis media. Application of endoscopy during the middle ear surgery results in decrease in frequency of cholestatoma recurrence and increase in the effectiveness of the ossiculoplasty.
