How Endoscopic Transcanal Tympanoplasty is performed
This procedure is often performed endoscopically through the external auditory canal, and autologous fascia or cartilage can be selected as the graft. The middle ear is usually cleaned of lesions, the edges of the perforation are trimmed, the graft is placed in a common underlay or overlay fashion, and temporarily fixed with gel or packing, and tympanoplasty is combined if necessary. Postoperative monitoring includes ear canal exudate and vertigo, with the goal of closing the perforation and improving hearing conduction. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
