In comparing two series of 72 operated cholesteatomas covered by a systematic surgical second look between 12 and 18 months, the authors have observed a distinct regression of residual cholesteatomas since oto-endoscopy came into use (from 47.7% to 10.7%). This new approach, with a minimum amount of practice, makes it possible to perform true endoscopy-guided surgery of the entire tympanic cavity, and reduces the indications of later tympanotomy.
在比较两组共72例接受了系统的二次手术探查的胆脂瘤病例（二次手术探查在术后12至18个月进行）时，作者观察到自从耳内镜投入使用后，残余胆脂瘤有明显消退（从47.7%降至10.7%）。这种新方法只需最少的实践操作，就能对整个鼓室进行真正的内镜引导手术，并减少了后期鼓室切开术的指征。
