Abstract：Objective To report transcanal endoscopic atticotomy and reconstruction for management of limited attic cholesteatoma. Methods Data from patients with epitympanic cholesteatoma who received transcanal operation ex-clusively by endoscopy from January 2015 to March 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Surgical indications and tech-nique were particularly presented. Results A total of 21 patients were included for cholesteatoma confined anterior to the antrum and not passing the lateral semicircular canal. Key surgical points were scutum removal, clearance of tympan-ic cholesteatoma and reconstruction of ear canal with cartilage or cartilage-perichonfrium complex. No facial palsy, men-ingitis, labyrinthitis or sensorineural deafness occurred after operation. Conclusions As a reliable alternative for tradi-tional microscopic surgery, transcanal endoscopic atticotomy and reconstruction is worth to be popularized for its mini-mal invasiveness and low rate of cholesteatoma recurrence.
