Tympanoplasty
Tympanoplasty at MEDVOYAGER
At MEDVOYAGER, we offer tympanoplasty, a surgical procedure designed to repair a perforated eardrum (tympanic membrane) and improve hearing. Our experienced ENT specialists use advanced techniques to ensure optimal outcomes for patients experiencing hearing loss, recurrent ear infections, or other complications due to eardrum perforation.
Understanding Tympanoplasty
Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reconstructing the eardrum and, if necessary, the small bones of the middle ear (ossicles). A perforated eardrum can result from infections, trauma, or previous ear surgeries, leading to hearing loss and increased susceptibility to ear infections. Tympanoplasty restores the integrity of the eardrum, improving hearing and reducing the risk of infections.
Indications for Tympanoplasty
- Perforated Eardrum: A hole or tear in the eardrum causing hearing loss or recurrent infections.
- Chronic Otitis Media: Persistent middle ear infections that do not respond to medical treatment.
- Hearing Loss: Conductive hearing loss resulting from eardrum damage.
- Ear Discharge: Chronic ear discharge (otorrhea) due to eardrum perforation.
- Middle Ear Disease: Conditions affecting the middle ear structures that require surgical intervention.
