Myringotomy And Grommet Insertion

Myringotomy is a minor surgical procedure where a small incision is made in the eardrum to drain fluid build-up caused by infections or Eustachian tube dysfunction. This helps relieve ear pain, pressure, and hearing difficulties. It is often recommended for children and adults with recurrent ear infections or persistent middle ear effusion. In some cases, a grommet (ventilation tube) insertion is performed to maintain proper airflow and prevent fluid accumulation.

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.

Tympanoplasty is a more advanced form of eardrum reconstruction that also addresses damage to the ossicles (tiny hearing bones). This procedure restores the eardrum and improves hearing loss caused by chronic infections or trauma. Depending on the extent of damage, different surgical techniques are used, ensuring optimal recovery and function.

Ossiculoplasty is a reconstructive surgery that repairs or replaces the tiny bones (ossicles) in the middle ear to improve hearing. Damage to these bones can result from infections, trauma, or previous surgeries. Our clinic uses prosthetic implants or autologous bone grafts to restore sound conduction, allowing patients to regain normal hearing function.

Stapedotomy is a specialized ear surgery performed to treat otosclerosis, a condition where abnormal bone growth stiffens the stapes bone, leading to hearing loss. The procedure involves replacing the affected stapes with a small prosthetic device, restoring sound transmission and significantly improving hearing. This surgery is highly effective, with excellent long-term outcomes.

Mastoidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove infected mastoid air cells caused by chronic ear infections, particularly in cholesteatoma cases. If left untreated, infections can spread to nearby structures, leading to serious complications. This procedure clears the infection, prevents further damage, and may be combined with tympanoplasty for complete ear restoration.
