Tympanoplasty is a surgery done to reconstruct a damaged eardrum. Specifically, it repairs the tympanic membrane using a graft. Tympanoplasty is also called eardrum repair. In some repair during tympanoplasty, the surgeon might also address the bones of the middle ear. The goal of this surgical procedure is not only to close the perforation but also to improve hearing and sound conduction in the ear. It is done under local or general anesthesia.
Tympanoplasty surgery eradicates the disease from the middle ear and restores the hearing and middle ear function. It is a safe and effective outpatient procedure. A number of surgical approaches and grafting techniques are available for the same. Paramount to success are the preoperative assessment, good hemostasis intraoperatively, and thoughtful surgical planning with careful placement of the graft.
