Endoscopic tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to repair damage to the middle ear and eardrum. This method is less invasive compared to traditional surgery and accelerates the patient’s recovery. The surgeon directs an endoscopic camera through the ear canal, repairs the eardrum damage, and, if necessary, corrects the hearing bones. The procedure is completed with small stitches and a protective bandage. This results in less tissue damage and a shorter healing process.

Procedure Duration and Recovery

Endoscopic tympanoplasty usually takes 1 to 2 hours. After the procedure, patients are monitored for a few hours. Most patients are discharged on the same day or the following day. Recovery time varies per individual but typically, normal activities are resumed within a few weeks.

Treatment Process

First, the surgeon thoroughly evaluates the ear structure and damage. Then, the eardrum and hearing bones are repaired. The minimally invasive surgery reduces postoperative discomfort and speeds up healing. Throughout the process, patients are informed and supported to follow their treatment comfortably.

Who Can Have This Procedure?

Anyone with a perforated eardrum, chronic ear infections, persistent ear discharge, hearing loss, or recurrent ear infections can undergo endoscopic tympanoplasty. Children, adults, and elderly patients can all benefit from the treatment as the procedure is suitable for all age groups.
