Modified Drilling Technique for Easier Round Window Access Our practice has evolved a modified drilling technique in the posterior tympanotomy approach, allowing easy and consistent access to the round window. This method focuses on optimizing the visual axis and drilling direction, enabling safer facial recess navigation and smoother electrode insertion. Sharing this technique may help surgeons, particularly early-career surgeons or those from low-volume centers, achieve more predictable surgical exposure.
