DIAGNOSTIC VIDEO OTOENDOSCOPY

Using a 0 degree endoscope the intact
eardrum can be examined closely and the movement of the ear drum evaluated. A
fluid level due to Middle ear effusion can also be seen much more clearly with
Otoendoscopy than with conventional otoscopes. The 30 degree scopes can
sometimes be passed through a perforated ear drum to determine the integrity of
the tiny bones in the middle ear and also to diagnose disease in the hidden
areas of the middle ear. This knowledge goes a long way in planning the
surgical treatment to be employed in tackling the particular condition.
