Tympanoplasty: Comprehensive Care for Eardrum Perforation


Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to repair perforations in the eardrum (tympanic membrane) caused by trauma or infections. At YNB Health Care, we specialize in providing advanced tympanoplasty treatments, ensuring quality care and improved hearing outcomes for patients of all ages. This procedure involves using a graft or prosthesis to close the hole in the eardrum and, if necessary, replacing damaged middle ear bones to restore normal auditory function.


What Happens During a Tympanoplasty?

1. Diagnosis:

Before the surgery, a thorough evaluation is conducted to confirm the extent of damage to the eardrum and surrounding structures. The diagnostic process typically involves:

  • Tympanometry: Measuring the eardrum's response to varying air pressures.
  • Audiology Tests: Assessing hearing ability through various pitches and volumes.
  • Swab Test: Identifying infections through lab analysis of ear discharge.
  • Tuning Fork Test: Evaluating hearing loss using sound vibrations.


2. Surgical Procedure:


Tympanoplasty is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under local or general anesthesia. Depending on the extent of the injury, it may involve:

  • Extracting a tissue graft from behind the ear to repair the eardrum.
  • Replacing damaged middle ear bones with prosthetic implants if necessary.
  • Using endoscopic techniques for minimal scarring.

The surgeon carefully closes the incision using bio-absorbable sutures and places packing in the ear canal to secure the graft. After the surgery, patients are moved to a recovery area for post-operative observation.
