      What is tympanoplasty?

      Tympanoplasty also known as perilymph fistula surgery. It is a surgical procedure which is used to repair the perilymph fistula. Eardrum (tympanic membrane) will be reconstructed from cartilage taken from the body during this procedure. Eardrum is the tissue that separates the ear canal and middle ear. When eardrum tears or ruptures, it creates a hole in the eardrum tissue. This hole prevents the vibrating of your eardrum, which could impact hearing abilities. The main goal of this procedure is not just to close the perforation but also to improve hearing.

      Who could require tympanoplasty surgery?

      A perforated eardrum that does not heal on its own may require a tympanoplasty. Prolonged hearing loss and ear discharge (otorrhea) are indicators that the eardrum is not healing:

      • Head trauma
      • Recurrent or severe ear infections
      • Surgery, such as placement of ear tubes
      • Cholesteatoma (skin cyst in the ear)
      • Inserting something into the ear canal, like cotton swab
      • A sudden change in pressure, such as from a wave slapping the eardrum or a blast injury

      When and how to identify you need a tympanoplasty?

      Patients with an optic capsule fistula, whose symptoms have not improved despite conservative measures, and have BPPV-related progressive hearing loss, may be the ideal candidates for surgery to correct the perilymph fistula:

      • Infections leading to eardrum rupture
      • Loss or removal of ventilation tubes in the ear
      • Injuries like puncturing the eardrum with a cotton swab
      • Cholesteatoma

      Treatment options and utilities of treatment options at TaCa

      The goal of every tympanoplasty or eardrum surgery is to repair a ruptured eardrum. Different tympanoplasty techniques are there which differ and help surgeons to reach the middle ear in repairing the eardrum.

      • Postauricular tympanoplasty: A curved incision is created behind the auricle, which is the fold in the outer ear.
      • Endaural: In this procedure, an incision is made above the ear canal.
      • Transcanal: In this method, the surgeon accesses the middle ear through the ear canal. This approach is utilized when the hole in the eardrum is relatively small and positioned at the rear of the eardrum.

        Tympanoplasty Surgery

        The risks associated with tympanoplasty are mentioned below:

        • Graft failure
        • Unimproved or worsened hearing
        • Tinnitus (ringing in the ear)
        • Altered taste
        • Dizziness

        Before the procedure, the patient undergoes a hearing test that enables the doctor to compare the results with post-surgery hearing tests.

        Tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy, together known as a tympanomastoidectomy, is a dual surgical procedure which is performed at the same time on a patient’s ear to control chronic infection and restore hearing.

        Tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy is a dual surgical procedure which is used to correct middle ear problems in both the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the small bones of the middle ear (mastoid bone) by removing diseased tissue.

        This procedure is most commonly performed to undo middle ear damage caused by chronic ear infections and/or cholesteatoma, a noncancerous skin growth that can lead to infection and bone erosion inside the ear.

        Yes, it is a major surgery because while performing tympanoplasty operation, usually general anesthesia is given.

        The procedure can usually take 30 minutes and can last for upto 2 hours.

        TaCa is having a team of skilled or good surgeons that are important because they know the significance of determining when surgery is necessary and when it's not. They recognize that the decision-making process holds more significance than the surgical procedure itself. Ultimately, the aim of any surgery is to serve the patient's well-being.

        Some common complications associated with tympanoplasty procedure are mentioned below:

        • Failure of the graft
        • Rare chance of hearing loss
        • Facial paralysis from nerve damage
        • Tinnitus or a sensation of noise in the ear
        • Abnormal taste or dryness in mouth
        • Post-surgery dizziness for several hours

        Several factors are there which are responsible for the cost of tympanoplasty treatment:

        • Type and severity of eardrum (tympanic membrane) damage
        • Type of procedure performed
        • Hospital’s type and location 
        • Anesthesiologist fee 
        • Medication cost
        • Cost of diagnostic tests

        Following tympanoplasty, recovery typically takes a few days to several weeks, but for the eardrum to fully heal and for hearing to improve it may take two months or longer duration.

        The recurrence rate after tympanoplasty ranges widely from 0–50%. Various causes contribute to failure and are often interconnected, complicating surgical decisions and leading to an uncertain prognosis.
