Micro Ear Surgery

Hearing is one of the special senses God has bestowed upon human beings. One can appreciate the value of hearing only when one ceases to hear.

The neurotologists in our Comprehensive Skull Base Program are specialists in medical and surgical care for disorders of the Ear, Cranial Nerves, and the Skull base. They treat patients of all ages for hearing loss, balance problems, tumors, infections, injuries, congenital (present since birth) defects, and facial nerve disorders.

 

  • Ear Pain
  • Buzzing in the ear
  • Whistling sounds when sneezing or blowing your nose
  • Decrease in Hearing or Hearing Loss
  • Middle Ear Inflammation or infection

Your Doctor may recommend Tympanoplasty is in case of

  • A clear, pus-filled, or bloody Ear Drainage
  • Hearing Loss
  • Ringing in the Ear
  • A spinning sensation from Vertigo
  • Nausea or vomiting resulting from vertigo

Diagnosis can be done in the following ways:

  • Evaluating the history of the hearing loss, also for vertigo or any other facial weakness.
  • Otoscopy: is usually done to inspect the mobility of the tympanic membrane and the malleus or the hammer-shaped small bone in the middle ear.
  • Fistula Test: This is usually performed if the patient has a history of dizziness or the presence of a marginal perforation of the eardrum.
  • Routine blood tests
  • Routine urine examination

The procedure takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete. More serious cases could take longer.

After 10 days, the packing is removed and the ear is checked to see if the graft was successful. As the graft must be free of infection to heal completely, antibiotics might be prescribed. If there are allergies or a cold, antibiotics and a decongestant are also prescribed.

After a month, all the packing is completely removed under the operating microscope. It is then determined whether the graft has been fully taken.

The doctor might suggest the following preventive measures to minimize the pressure that can potentially dislodge the graft.

  • Avoid water from the ear
  • Avoid nose blowing
  • Avoid using a straw to drink
  • Avoid sneezing with a shut mouth

A complete hearing test is performed four to six weeks after the surgery.

There might be a few risk factors in rare cases.

  • Excessive bleeding
  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Reactions to medicines
  • Dizziness or vertigo
  • Worsening of hearing or a complete loss of hearing
