It is a microsurgical procedure (conducted using an operating microscope) to reconstruct the eardrum or the tympanic membrane of the ear. In this surgery, harvested graft tissue is used to repair the perforated eardrum. The ear is then packed with gel foam, a Self-absorbable material, to secure it in place. The surgeon bandages the ear from outside for up to 7 days. This surgery can be performed under local or general anaesthesia.
It's essential to consult with an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) if you suspect a perforated eardrum or are experiencing symptoms such as hearing loss, recurrent ear infections, or ear discharge.
Myringoplasty is a surgical procedure performed by ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists to repair a perforated eardrum (tympanic membrane). It is primarily used to treat conditions involving a hole or rupture in the eardrum, which can lead to issues such as hearing loss and an increased risk of ear infections.
