ENT >> Tympanoplasty



Sometimes, injury or trauma can cause the perforation of the eardrum, leading to hearing loss. If the damage is minor, the eardrum can heal on its own. But in case of a major injury, tympanoplasty is the only way to repair the damage. Tympanoplasty involves surgically grafting skin from the patient's body and fashioning it into a membrane that replaces the damaged eardrum. If the damage extends to the stapes bones inside the ear, ossiculopasty might also accompany tympanoplasty.

The ENT treatments offered at the super specialty hospitals in India are accompanied the good facilities for medical tourists, as well as excellent pre- and postoperative care. The Apollo Hospital in New Delhi has an excellent ENT Department that offers a range of treatments from tympanoplasty to stapedotomy for the ears, and laryngectomy, thyroplasty and block dissections of the neck.

Before undergoing ENT treatments like tympanoplasty, a patient must be aware of the attendant risks involved. Almost 90% of the patients undergoing tympanoplasty recover their hearing fully, but a few may face complications like infection and hearing loss. These must be fully discussed with the ENT specialist before surgery.
