Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to repair a perforated (ruptured) eardrum, which may result from chronic ear infections, trauma, or other conditions.
Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to repair a perforated eardrum and, in some cases, restore the function of the small bones in the middle ear (ossicles) that may be affected by chronic infection or trauma. This procedure can improve hearing, reduce the frequency of ear infections, and close the perforation in the eardrum.
Tympanoplasty can significantly improve hearing by restoring the function of the eardrum and, if necessary, repairing the ossicles in the middle ear.
A perforated eardrum can make the ear more vulnerable to infections, as bacteria can enter the middle ear easily. Tympanoplasty closes the perforation, reducing the frequency of infections.
Chronic ear infections can lead to persistent discharge from the ear. Tympanoplasty can resolve this issue by eliminating the source of infection.
Hearing loss and recurrent ear infections can affect daily life, work, and social interactions. Tympanoplasty helps patients regain their hearing and live without the constant worry of infections.
Although rare, infections can occur at the surgical site or in the middle ear, requiring prompt treatment with antibiotics.
Some bleeding may occur after surgery, but it is usually minimal and subsides within a few days.
In rare cases, there may be a decrease in hearing, especially if the surgery involves the ossicles. However, most patients experience improved hearing after tympanoplasty.
At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.
This is a basic repair of the eardrum when only the tympanic membrane is damaged, and the ossicles are intact.
This procedure is performed when both the eardrum and the malleus (one of the ossicles) are damaged. The surgeon repairs the eardrum and the malleus to improve hearing.
This is required when the eardrum and the malleus are damaged, and the incus (another ossicle) is affected. A more complex reconstruction is necessary to restore hearing.
Patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or ear pressure for a few days after surgery. Pain medication may be prescribed to manage any discomfort.
It is important to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or any actions that could increase pressure in the ears (such as blowing the nose forcefully or flying) for several weeks after surgery.
The ear should be kept dry and clean during the healing process. Patients may be instructed to avoid getting water in the ear and use ear protection while bathing or swimming.
Patients will need to attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and remove any ear packing. The surgeon will also perform a hearing test to assess the improvement in hearing after surgery.
Hearing typically improves within a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the extent of the repair and the individual’s healing process.
After tympanoplasty, patients should continue to take care of their ears to maintain the results of the surgery and prevent future infections. This includes protecting the ears from trauma, particularly during contact sports or activities where the ear could be impacted.
Patients should also avoid water exposure, as water entering the ear can cause infections or damage to the eardrum; using earplugs while swimming or bathing is recommended. Regular follow-up visits with an ENT specialist are essential to ensure the eardrum remains intact and hearing levels are maintained.
