Eardrum Repair Surgery
Eardrum Repair Surgery (Tympanoplasty)
The eardrum (tympanic membrane) plays a crucial role in transmitting sound to the middle ear. Damage due to infections, trauma, or chronic ear conditions can lead to a perforated eardrum, resulting in hearing loss and recurrent infections. Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to repair the eardrum and restore normal middle ear function.
What is Tympanoplasty?
Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure used to close a perforation in the eardrum and, if necessary, repair the middle ear structures. This helps to:
- Improve hearing ability
- Prevent recurrent infections
- Restore normal ear function
Who is a Good Candidate?
- Patients with a perforated eardrum
- Individuals with chronic middle ear infections
- People experiencing hearing loss
- Patients with persistent ear discharge
A detailed ENT evaluation is required before surgery.
How is the Surgery Performed?
- Performed under general or local anesthesia
- Takes approximately 1–2 hours
- The perforation is repaired using a tissue graft
- Middle ear bones (ossicles) may be reconstructed if needed
The procedure is typically performed through the ear canal or behind the ear.
Recovery Process
- Mild discomfort may occur in the first few days
- Return to daily activities within 1 week
- Hearing gradually improves over time
- Full recovery may take several weeks
Regular follow-up visits are important during recovery.
