Digital enhancement technologies are applicable to EES. After complete cholesteatoma removal, Spectra B showed the highest sensitivity in the detection of cholesteatoma residuals as compared with Clara and Spectra A. Thus, Spectra B may be recommended to avoid missing any cholesteatoma residuals during EES.
