Near-total thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure where most of the thyroid gland is removed, leaving behind a small amount of tissue.

*Indications:*

1. *Thyroid cancer*: Removing cancerous tissue.
2. *Hyperthyroidism*: Treating overactive thyroid conditions.
3. *Goiter*: Removing enlarged thyroid glands.

*Benefits:*

1. *Symptom relief*: Alleviating symptoms like difficulty swallowing or breathing.
2. *Cancer treatment*: Removing cancerous tissue.

*Post-operative care:*

1. *Thyroid hormone replacement*: Lifelong medication to replace thyroid hormones.
2. *Monitoring*: Regular check-ups to monitor thyroid hormone levels.

Endoscopic tympanoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to repair the tympanic membrane (eardrum) and sometimes the middle ear bones.

*Procedure:*

1. *Endoscope insertion*: Through the ear canal.
2. *Tympanic membrane repair*: Grafting or repair of the eardrum.

*Benefits:*

1. *Less invasive*: Smaller incision or no incision behind the ear.
2. *Faster recovery*: Compared to traditional microscopic tympanoplasty.
3. *Reduced scarring*: Minimal or no visible scarring.

*Indications:*

1. *Tympanic membrane perforation*: Repair of eardrum perforations.
2. *Hearing loss*: Improvement of hearing in some cases.

Some additional points about endoscopic tympanoplasty:

*Advantages:*

1. *Minimally invasive*: Reduced trauma to the ear canal.
2. *Improved visualization*: High-definition endoscopic view.
3. *Faster recovery*: Less post-operative pain and discomfort.

*Grafting options:*

1. *Autologous grafts*: Using patient's own tissue (e.g., temporalis fascia).
2. *Allografts or synthetic materials*: Alternative grafting options.

*Outcomes:*

1. *Closure of perforation*: Successful repair of the eardrum.
2. *Hearing improvement*: Variable, depending on the extent of middle ear damage.

Some more details about endoscopic tympanoplasty:

*Surgical considerations:*

1. *Surgeon expertise*: Experience with endoscopic ear surgery.
2. *Patient selection*: Suitable candidates based on perforation size and location.

*Post-operative care:*

1. *Follow-up*: Regular check-ups to monitor healing.
2. *Avoid heavy lifting*: Minimizing activities that increase ear pressure.

*Potential complications:*

1. *Infection*: Rare, but possible.
2. *Graft failure*: Perforation recurrence.

Endoscopic type 1 tympanoplasty

Endoscopic type 1 tympanoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to repair the tympanic membrane (eardrum) when it has a perforation.

*Key aspects:*

- *Endoscopic approach*: Uses an endoscope to visualize the tympanic membrane, allowing for a less invasive procedure.
- *Type 1 tympanoplasty*: Refers to the repair of the tympanic membrane without ossicular reconstruction.

*Benefits:*

- *Less invasive*: Compared to traditional microscopic approaches.
- *Potential for faster recovery*: And less post-operative discomfort.
- *Good visualization*: Endoscope provides a detailed view of the tympanic membrane.

*Indications:*

- *Small to medium-sized perforations*: Endoscopic type 1 tympanoplasty is often suitable for smaller perforations.
- *Dry perforation*: Perforations without active infection.

-*wet perforation*: with active discharge

Some additional points about endoscopic type 1 tympanoplasty:

- *Grafting material*: The surgeon may use various grafting materials, such as temporalis fascia or cartilage, to repair the perforation.
- *Success rates*: High success rates have been reported for endoscopic type 1 tympanoplasty, with significant improvement in hearing and reduction in symptoms.
- *Advantages*: Less post-operative pain, reduced scarring, and potentially faster recovery compared to traditional open approaches.

*Post-operative care*:

- *Follow-up appointments*: Regular check-ups to monitor healing and assess hearing improvement.
- *Avoid heavy lifting or straining*: To minimize the risk of complications.
- *Keep the ear dry*: To promote healing and prevent infection.

Some additional information on endoscopic type 1 tympanoplasty:

- *Minimally invasive*: The endoscopic approach allows for smaller incisions or sometimes no incisions at all, reducing tissue trauma.
- *High magnification*: The endoscope provides a detailed view of the tympanic membrane, enabling precise repair.
- *Potential for outpatient procedure*: Depending on the case, endoscopic tympanoplasty might be performed on an outpatient basis.

*Surgeon expertise*: The success of the procedure depends on the surgeon's experience and skill with endoscopic techniques.
