Abstract
The endoscopic approach to attic cholesteatoma allows clear observation of the tensor fold area and consequently, excision of the tensor fold, modifying the epitympanic diaphragm. This permits good removal of cholesteatoma and direct ventilation of the upper unit, preventing the development of a retraction pocket or attic cholesteatoma recurrence, with good functional results.
