Abstract

Basic outpatient treatment of external and middle ear conditions is common in otorhinolaryngology. These treatments are often performed under a microscope, necessitating proper training to execute the procedures under microscopic visualization.

If performing outpatient treatment, it is essential to develop an image-filing system using an endoscope and implement infection preventive measures through medical instruments. Therefore, infection risks and medical safety are of paramount importance.

The lecture focuses on four external ear conditions commonly encountered in outpatient settings (earwax blockage, cholesteatoma, mycosis of the external ear canal, and epithelial pearl) and describes treatment approaches for each condition.
