Mechanism: Tympanic Membrane & Ossicular Grafting
A perforation in the eardrum disrupts the "Impedance Matching" mechanism of the middle ear, causing conductive hearing loss. **Tympanoplasty** involves meticulously cleaning the ear canal and using your own tissue—usually temporal fascia or tragal cartilage—as a natural graft to close the opening.
When the infection involves the tiny ossicles (hearing bones), we perform **Ossicular Chain Reconstruction (OCR)**. We use microscopic titanium or biocompatible implants to replace damaged bones like the incus or stapes, restoring the physical path of sound into the inner ear.
Microscopic Cleansing: Removal of infected skin (cholesteatoma) that can erode the skull.
Water-proof Integrity: Ensuring the middle ear is permanently protected from external water and bacteria.
The "Dry Ear" Lifecycle
Following surgery, we monitor for the **Success Indicators**: a dry middle ear space, a healthy vascularized graft, and a measurable gain in the decibel threshold of hearing.
Auditory Pathway Assurance
Common Ear Surgery Indications
Our ENT Hub is equipped for both pediatric and adult ear microsurgery.
Eardrum Perforation
A persistent hole in the eardrum usually caused by repeated infections or injury.
Cholesteatoma
A destructive skin-filled cyst that can erode hearing bones and the skull base.
CSOM Discharge
Chronic foul-smelling ear discharge that does not respond to medical drops.
Otosclerosis
Hardening of the hearing bones that requires stapedotomy for sound restoration.
Mastoidectomy: Cleansing the Temporal Bone
When infection invades the honeycomb-like mastoid bone behind the ear, a simple tympanoplasty is not enough. We perform **Mastoidectomy** using high-speed micro-drills to clear every cell of infection, preventing serious brain complications.

Elite Clinical FAQs: Tympanoplasty & Mastoidectomy
Can I shower normally after ear surgery?
No. It is critical to keep the ear completely dry for 4-6 weeks until the graft is fully integrated. We recommend using a large cotton ball soaked in petroleum jelly to block the ear canal during baths.
How soon will my hearing improve?
Hearing is often muffled for the first 3 weeks due to internal packing and ointments. You will notice a significant improvement once the surgeon removes the pack during the follow-up visit.
What is the difference between simple and radical mastoidectomy?
A simple mastoidectomy clears infection but keeps the canal intact. A radical or 'canal-wall-down' procedure is for complex infections like cholesteatoma to ensure the ear is permanently safe from recurrence.
Does ear surgery require a large cut?
Most micro-ear surgeries are performed through a 4cm incision behind the ear that is hidden by the hair and ear fold. In some cases, we can even perform it entirely through the ear canal (endaural).
Can I travel by air after surgery?
We recommend avoiding air travel for at least 4-6 weeks post-surgery. Pressure changes in the cabin can 'pop' the new graft before it has successfully fused with your natural tissue.
What graft material is the best?
Temporal fascia (from your own temple) is the gold standard due to its strength and low rejection risk. Cartilage is used when the eardrum needs more 'structural' support against retraction.
