Myringoplasty
Description
Myringoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing a perforated eardrum. It restores the tympanic membrane’s structure and function, preventing recurrent infections and improving hearing. The procedure involves using graft material, usually taken from the patient’s own tissue, to close the hole in the eardrum. This surgery is particularly beneficial for patients with chronic ear infections or trauma-induced perforations.
