Modified Endoscope Holder for Two Handed Endoscopic Ear Surgery

We have been doing Endoscopic ear surgeries since 2013. Inorder to overcome the disadvantage of the single handed endoscopic ear surgery technique, we have developed the endoscope holders, Justtach(R) and EndoHold(R). Due to its certain limitations, we modified the pre-existing, endoscope holder-Justtach, to add more features as well as to increase the comfort and ease of the technique. The aim of this paper is to describe the design of our modified endoscope holder and to report our preliminary experience of two handed endoscopic ear surgery with it. Descriptive study. A total number of 68 two handed endoscopic tympanoplasties have been operated with the modified endoscope holder from January 2017 to May 2018 with a minimum follow up period of 10 months. Our study reports the successful application of the modified endoscope holder for two handed endoscopic ear surgery, highlighting its advantages. Our modified endoscope holder, is a good option for two handed endoscopic tympanoplasties and mastoidectomies. Level of Evidence Level 4.
