Abstract
Background: The three-dimensional (3D) exoscope is an emerging alternative to the operating microscope (OM) in otologic surgery.
Aims: To assess its clinical utility in cholesteatoma surgery.
Methods: Retrospective review of 36 primary cases (21 OM, 15 exoscope) comparing setup time, surgical duration, audiological outcomes, and recurrence.
Results: Groups were comparable in background and stage. Setup time was shorter with exoscope (microscope: 20 min, range 18-22, exoscope: 17 min, range 14-20) (p = .002), while other outcomes showed no significant difference.
Conclusions: The 3D exoscope reduced setup time with equivalent surgical and functional outcomes to OM.
