Key Points:
  1. Transcanal Endoscopic Ear Surgery (TEES) has become one of the most influential methods in dealing with adult ear disease.
  2. The surgical time for VTI in children was shorter than in adults. However, for tympanoplasty was significantly longer in the pediatric patients than in the adult patients.
  3. No significant difference between children and adults with regard to rates of surgical success, postoperative complications, and postoperative hearing gain when VTI, tympanoplasty, or TEES management of cholesteatoma was performed.
  4. The feasibility of transcanal endoscopic ear surgery for the management of pediatric middle ear disease is sufficient.
  5. TEES can be successfully and effectively used in the treatment of middle ear disease in both adults and children, even in complicated cholesteatoma cases.
