The advantages and limitations of the microscope have defined transmastoid access as the surgical intervention of choice for the treatment of cholesteatoma. The wide-angle view provided by the endoscope enables transcanal access to the tympanic cavity and its otherwise difficult-toreach extensions. The attic, sinus tympani, facial recess, and hypotympanum are the primary sites of disease and surgical failure to cure. This report is a summary of the authors 15 years of experience with the use of transcanal operative endoscopy as the primary approach to the management of cholesteatoma.

Otosclerosis is a disease of the otic capsule that is among the most common causes of acquired hearing loss. During the last 15 years, our laboratory has focused on elucidating the molecular pathology of otosclerosis with the long-term goal of developing better forms of therapy. These studies have brought us to the point where we are ready to consider and develop new and innovative treatment strategies. We have identified a promising pharmacological treatment, have begun to develop and test a drug formulation for use in humans, and have developed an animal model with which to test this therapy.

Introduction Glomus tumors are rare benign neoplasms in the head and neck. Glomus tympanicum and glomus jugulare lesions are associated with the temporal bone. The usual presenting symptom is pulsatile tinnitus followed by hearing loss. There is no controversy with the management of glomus tympanicums as they are mainly treated with surgical removal. Controversy occurs in the management of glomus jugulare tumors because of the lower cranial morbidity associated with the surgical removal.

The rational treatment for the cholesteatoma should be based on the factors related with the pathogenesis, behaviors, localization of the cholesteatoma as well as the anatomic and functional factors and the ossicular chain involvement.
