Observational analysis improved treatment success in patients with cholesteatoma, suggesting endoscopic methods may be preferable.

Endoscopic intervention achieved successful outcomes in 41 out of 65 patients treated for cholesteatoma.
Treatment success, defined as a dry and self-cleaning ear, was effectively achieved through a transcanal endoscopic approach.
In extensive cholesteatoma cases, a combined endoscopic and canal wall-down surgery may be required for optimal control.
This analysis underscores the significance of endoscopic management strategies for effective cholesteatoma treatment.

Plodpai et al. (2025) studied this question.
