Myringotomy and Grommet Insertion
Myringotomy with grommet insertion is performed to treat middle ear conditions such as chronic otitis media or persistent fluid accumulation. It involves creating a small incision in the eardrum and inserting a ventilation tube to facilitate drainage and prevent fluid buildup.
Stapedectomy
Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure designed to address conductive hearing loss caused by otosclerosis. The procedure involves removing the fixed stapes bone in the middle ear and replacing it with a prosthesis to restore sound transmission and improve hearing.
Tympanoplasty
Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing a perforated eardrum (tympanic membrane) or addressing middle ear conditions. The surgery involves grafting tissue onto the perforation to restore the integrity of the eardrum.
Mastoidectomy
