Tympanoplasty -perforated ear drum

Tympanoplasty - a surgical cure for inner ear infections.

Inner ear infection surgery, also known as tympanoplasty, is a medical procedure performed to treat severe infections in the inner ear.

This surgery aims to repair any damage or perforations in the eardrum caused by the infection. During the procedure, the surgeon carefully removes the infected tissue and cleans the affected area. They may also perform a graft to reconstruct the eardrum and improve hearing.

The surgery typically requires general anesthesia and may last a few hours. After the surgery, patients may experience temporary dizziness or ear discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications.

It is important to follow post-operative instructions, such as avoiding water exposure to the ear, to ensure a successful recovery.
