Complications in endoscopic ear surgery and microscopic ear surgery can appear in both techniques. Whether complications occur more often in endoscopic ear surgery or microscopic ear surgery depends mostly on the skills and learning curve of the surgeon. Endoscopic ear surgery is a safe surgical technique with few reported complications hence the importance of understanding them to prevent and manage them. Nevertheless, intraoperative and postoperative complications may occur, including neurosensory deafness, direct injury to the ossicles, facial nerve palsy, labyrinth fistula, and dura injury.
