What is Tympanoplasty?

Tympanoplasty is a specialized ear surgery performed to repair a torn or perforated eardrum (tympanic membrane) and restore normal middle ear function. The procedure is essential for patients suffering from chronic ear infections, hearing loss, or trauma-related damage. It involves using graft tissue to reconstruct the eardrum, sometimes combined with ossicular chain reconstruction to improve hearing outcomes.

Understanding Tympanoplasty

Tympanoplasty is a specialized ear surgery aimed at repairing a perforated or damaged eardrum, often caused by chronic ear infections, trauma, or previous ear surgeries. This procedure restores the natural barrier of the middle ear, improves hearing, and prevents repeated infections. Performed under local or general anesthesia, tympanoplasty involves grafting tissue to close the eardrum perforation, ensuring proper sound transmission and ear protection. Recovery is generally smooth, with most patients resuming normal activities within a few weeks. By addressing both functional and health concerns, tympanoplasty offers lasting benefits for ear health and hearing quality.
