How Tympanoplasty/Myringoplasty is performed
This procedure is mostly performed under general anesthesia, and autologous fascia, cartilage, and other grafts can be selected. The endoscope is used to observe through the external auditory canal, trim the edge of the perforation and elevate the tympanic membrane flap, clean the lesion, and treat the ossicular chain as needed. Place the graft on the appropriate level to support the repair, and pack the external auditory canal to stabilize it. Postoperative monitoring includes wound, secretion, and hearing changes, with the goal of restoring tympanic membrane integrity and middle ear ventilation. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
