Tympanoplasty
Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair a perforated eardrum (tympanic membrane) and reconstruct the middle ear. It is performed to restore hearing, prevent recurrent ear infections, and improve the overall health of the middle ear.
Our ENT surgeon performs tympanoplasty using advanced microsurgical techniques for optimal outcomes.
What is Tympanoplasty?
Tympanoplasty involves grafting tissue (usually from the patient's own temporalis fascia or cartilage) to close the perforation in the eardrum. The procedure may also involve repair or reconstruction of the ossicular chain (hearing bones) if damaged.
Indications

- Ear discharge not responding to medications
- Cholesteatoma (in combination with other procedures)
