Abstract
The overall success rate for TEES tympanoplasty was 83% A learning curve of approximately 60 cases was evident, with success in the final 33% of cases being 93.5% The only significant factor affecting the tympanoplasty success rate was the year since starting TEES. Hearing outcomes are related to pre‐operative ABG, ossicle erosion, and COM risk factors, but not to the level of experience in TEES. TEES has comparable outcomes, efficacy and complications to microscopic or combined techniques
