Surgery options for Tympanic membrane or eardrum repair 

Myringoplasty - is Mostly suggested by the surgeon for those with small-sized holes in the tympanic membrane. In this technique, through a thin paper-like tissue, the hole is patched. 

This small surgical procedure can be done by giving the local patient anaesthesia and hardly takes 20-30 minutes. 

Tympanoplasty - This is a more commonly performed surgical procedure. 

The surgeon performs this on a person with a chronic infection in the ear or in a condition where the hole is comparatively larger. 

Ossiculoplasty - This procedure is more likely performed when three bones on the middle ears are found with defects or damage due to some past trauma or infections.

The procedure follows giving local anaesthesia to the patient, and under this, the surgeon carefully replaces the infected bones. 

Tympanoplasty Procedure

Tympanoplasty surgery for repairing the eardrums is considered the most suitable surgical option. The procedure of the surgery follows Microscopic and Endoscopic techniques.

Firstly, the patient is put under general anaesthesia and remains unconscious during the surgery. The surgeon uses the incision process to make the cut, or the repair is done by reaching the ear canal. 

Initially, the excess or built-up tissue is removed carefully through a taser method. Next, a small amount of the patient's tissue is taken and grafted to close the hole in the eardrum.
