Tympanoplasty
Restoring Hearing and Ear Health

Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to repair a perforated eardrum (tympanic membrane) and, in some cases, the small bones of the middle ear. This procedure aims to restore hearing, eliminate ear infections, and improve overall ear function.

Who Are Tympanoplasty Surgeons and Why Are They Vital for Hearing Restoration?

Tympanoplasty Surgeons: Experts in Eardrum and Middle Ear Repair

Tympanoplasty surgeons are highly trained ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) specialists who focus on surgical repair of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and middle ear structures. These delicate procedures are crucial for patients with chronic ear infections, perforated eardrums, or conductive hearing loss.

Why Their Role Matters

Precision Hearing Restoration

Tympanoplasty surgeons use microsurgical techniques to restore the natural structure of the eardrum and ossicles, which helps regain lost hearing and prevent further ear damage.

Infection Prevention

By closing perforations and reconstructing damaged tissue, they significantly reduce the risk of recurrent infections, discharge, and long-term complications.

Specialized Skills

These surgeons are skilled in both minimally invasive and reconstructive procedures, offering safe, reliable, and lasting outcomes for patients of all ages.

At MicroCare ENT

Our tympanoplasty surgeons are among the top experts in India, equipped with the latest technology to ensure high success rates and faster recovery.

Is Your Ear Telling You It’s Time for Tympanoplasty?

Which Ear Problems Are Treated by Tympanoplasty surgeons?

Expert Solutions for Chronic Ear Conditions

Conditions Treated by Tympanoplasty Specialists:

1. Eardrum Perforation

Holes in the eardrum due to infection, trauma, or surgery that affect hearing.

2. Chronic Otitis Media, Cholesteatoma

Holes in the eardrum due to infection, trauma, or surgery that affect hearing.

3. Conductive Hearing Loss

Hearing loss caused by damage to the eardrum or middle ear bones.

4. Tympanosclerosis

Scarring or hardening of middle ear tissues that disrupt sound transmission.

5. Ossicular Chain Disruption

Dislocation or damage of the tiny bones (ossicles) that carry sound vibrations.

Wondering When to See a Tympanoplasty Surgeon?

You may need to see a tympanoplasty specialist if you experience:

Persistent ear discharge that doesn’t improve with medication
Hearing loss after an ear infection or injury
Repeated ear infections or chronic otitis media
A visible hole in the eardrum (diagnosed by an ENT)
Tinnitus or a feeling of fullness in the ear
A history of trauma to the ear with hearing changes

Why Early Consultation Matters

Delaying treatment may lead to:

Progressive hearing loss
Spread of infection to deeper structures
Reduced success rates of surgery
Complications requiring more extensive procedures

What Advanced Diagnostic Tools Do Ear Surgeons Use Before Tympanoplasty?

Ensuring Precision in Ear Surgery Starts with Accurate Diagnosis

Before performing tympanoplasty (eardrum repair surgery), ENT surgeons rely on a set of advanced diagnostic tools to assess the extent of damage, hearing loss, and middle ear function. These tests help determine the most effective surgical plan for each patient.

1. Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA)

Measures the degree and type of hearing loss across various sound frequencies.

2. Impedance Audiometry (Tympanometry)

Evaluates eardrum mobility and middle ear pressure, revealing signs of fluid buildup or ossicular chain dysfunction.

3. Otoscopy / Video Otoscopy

Provides a direct or magnified view of the eardrum to assess perforation, infection, or scarring.

4. CT Scan of the Temporal Bone (when needed)

Offers detailed images of the ear’s bony structures, useful in chronic or complicated ear disease cases.

Why These Tools Matter

They help ear surgeons choose the right type of tympanoplasty, anticipate surgical challenges, and improve overall outcomes for hearing restoration.

For expert tympanoplasty assessment and treatment, trust the specialists at MicroCare ENT.

What Surgical Techniques are Performed by Tympanoplasty Surgeons?

Key Surgical Techniques in Tympanoplasty

1. Myringoplasty

A focused repair of small eardrum perforations using a graft (usually fascia or cartilage), performed when the middle ear bones are intact.

2. Ossiculoplasty

Reconstruction of damaged or eroded middle ear bones (ossicles) using synthetic prostheses or autologous grafts, to improve sound transmission.

3. Underlay & Overlay Grafting

Precise placement of graft material beneath or over the remaining eardrum, based on the size and location of the perforation.

4. Endoscopic Tympanoplasty

A minimally invasive technique using an endoscope through the ear canal—offers better visualization, reduced scarring, and quicker recovery.

Why It Matters

These techniques not only improve hearing but also reduce chronic ear discharge and restore the protective barrier of the eardrum, enhancing the patient’s quality of life.

Tympanoplasty with Combined Middle Ear Procedures

Comprehensive Surgical Repair for Hearing and Infection Control

Tympanoplasty is often performed along with other middle ear surgeries when additional structural damage or infection is present. These combined procedures are designed to fully restore hearing and eliminate chronic infections.

🦴 Ossiculoplasty

This procedure involves reconstruction of the ossicles—the three tiny bones (malleus, incus, and stapes) that transmit sound from the eardrum to the inner ear. Ossiculoplasty is done when these bones are damaged or disconnected, affecting sound conduction. It is often paired with tympanoplasty to achieve complete functional hearing restoration.

🧠 Mastoidectomy / Tympanomastoidectomy

When chronic infection spreads to the mastoid bone behind the ear, a mastoidectomy is performed to remove the infected or diseased air cells. In more advanced cases, tympanomastoidectomy is done to remove cholesteatomas (abnormal skin growths) and prevent complications such as mastoiditis or hearing loss.

✅ Why Combine These Procedures?

Combining tympanoplasty with ossiculoplasty or mastoidectomy offers a comprehensive solution, especially in patients with long-standing ear disease, structural damage, or hearing loss. These procedures ensure:

Long-term infection control
Restoration of hearing mechanism
Prevention of further complications

Precautions to Follow After Tympanoplasty

Essential Precautions After Eardrum Repair Surgery

1. Keep the Ear Dry

Avoid water entering the operated ear. Use a cotton plug with petroleum jelly while bathing.

2. Avoid Nose Blowing or Sneezing Forcefully

Sudden pressure changes can disturb the surgical site. Sneeze with your mouth open to release pressure.

3. No Air Travel or Swimming

Avoid flights or diving for at least 4–6 weeks unless cleared by your surgeon.

4. Limit Physical Activity

Avoid heavy lifting, bending, or strenuous activity during the first 2 weeks.

5. Take Medications as Prescribed

Complete the full course of antibiotics and pain relievers. Follow dosage instructions carefully.

6. Attend Follow-Up Appointments

Regular reviews help monitor healing and identify complications early.

7. Report Unusual Symptoms

Contact your doctor if you experience dizziness, ear discharge, severe pain, or hearing loss.

✔️ Heal Right, Hear Better
