Sources: 6. Developments: 2. The Provincial Hospital (Szpital Wojewódzki) in Bielsko-Biała has introduced endoscopic ear surgery within its Laryngology and Laryngological Oncology Department. This technique uses a miniature camera inserted through the external auditory canal to provide a magnified, wide-angle view of the tympanic cavity and middle ear structures. Compared to traditional microscopic surgery, the endoscopic method allows surgeons to view hard-to-reach areas from various angles and may eliminate the need for classic incisions behind the ear in certain cases. The procedure is used to treat conditions such as chronic middle ear inflammation, cholesteatoma, and tympanic membrane perforation, as well as for ossicle repair and reconstruction. The medical team, including Maciej Hajduga, Wojciech Szczerbowski, and Aleksandra Szuwalska, implemented this capability following specialized training in Olomouc, Czech Republic. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-31: Bielsko-Biała hospital implements endoscopic ear surgery Doctors at the Provincial Hospital in Bielsko-Biała have introduced endoscopic ear surgery, allowing for more precise viewing of the middle ear and potentially avoiding traditional incisions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bielsko-biaa-hospital-implements-endoscopic-ear-surgery ### 2026-10-29: Szpital Wojewódzki in Bielsko-Biała introduces endoscopic ear surgery Doctors at the Provincial Hospital in Bielsko-Biała have begun performing endoscopic ear surgeries, using miniature cameras to provide better visibility and potentially avoid traditional incisions. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/szpital-wojewdzki-in-bielsko-biaa-introduces-endoscopic-ear-surgery --- Cite as: Endoscopic ear surgery implementation in Bielsko-Biała.
