What is Tympanoplasty?

Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and restoring hearing function. It involves grafting tissue onto the perforated or damaged eardrum to close the hole and improve hearing. Tympanoplasty indications include chronic eardrum perforations, hearing loss from the middle ear, persistent ear infections, traumatic ear injuries, congenital ear defects, trauma-related damage, and the need for a revision surgery.

Types of Tympanoplasty procedures:

Type I Tympanoplasty: This type repairs small perforations in the eardrum.
Type II Tympanoplasty: It addresses larger perforations and may involve reconstructing the middle ear bones (ossicles).
Type III Tympanoplasty: This procedure is necessary for addressing damage to the eardrum and middle ear structures, often resulting from trauma or chronic infections.

The choice of endoscopic tympanoplasty technique can vary based on the location and size of the rupture, such as (Postauricular: behind ear incision), (Endaural: above ear canal), and (Transcanal: through ear canal access) approaches.

Tympanoplasty Surgery: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care

Before Eardrum Surgery

Patients undergo a thorough evaluation, including medical history, ear examination, and hearing tests, to assess the condition of the eardrum and plan the treatment accordingly.

During the Tympanoplasty :

The surgeon enters the ear through the ear canal or an incision behind or in front of the ear. The approach depends on the size and location of the hole in the eardrum and the extent of damage within the ear. Microsurgical instruments are used to locate the hole in the eardrum and the hole is patched up with a graft tissue taken from the patient or a synthetic material. Growth of the ear cells happens over a period of time, covering the defect and securing the graft in place.

Duration:

The duration of the surgery depends on the extent of the repair. Repair of a small eardrum perforation may take only a few minutes, while more complex surgeries that require reconstruction of the ossicles or removal of the mastoid bone may last several hours.

Tympanoplasty Recovery:

The healing process takes weeks or months. tympanoplasty surgery recovery time varies and strict adherence to the post operative instruction is very crucial.

Post-Procedure Care:

Avoiding activities that have exposure to water should be avoided, like swimming. A protective cotton ball should be placed in the ear during bathing, etc. to prevent the water from entering the operated ear. Blowing the nose and sneezing type of activities should be avoided.
