Background: Minimally invasive techniques (MITs) in otologic surgery, such as endoscopic ear surgery (EES), laser-assisted procedures, and robotic-assisted surgery, have gained popularity due to their advantages in reducing surgical trauma, improving precision, and enhancing recovery outcomes. However, a comprehensive comparison of MITs with conventional microscopic ear surgery (MES) regarding safety, efficacy, and longterm patient satisfaction remains underexplored. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to synthesize evidence on the effectiveness of MITs versus conventional techniques in otologic surgery. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science, following PRISMA guidelines. Studies comparing MITs and MES in patients undergoing otologic surgery were included. Key outco.. Read More»
