Learning Objectives: Teaching the complex anatomy of the middle ear has always been a challenge. Textbook drawings and diagrams often fail to show the intricate 3D relationships of the various structures.

The Sydney Endoscopic Ear Surgery (SEES) Research Group has produced a series of videos looking specifically at the anatomy of this region, as visualized with new endoscopic techniques. The endoscope enables an incredible view of areas, such as the retrotympanum, previously hidden by microscopic techniques.

Each video looks at a specific area of the middle ear and describes its anatomical relationships and clinical correlation. The videos will be available as a free online resource to anyone wishing to use them.

This presentation will demonstrate key parts of the video series and discuss in a broader context how the endoscope has improved trainee education of ear anatomy.
