Endoscopic Tympanoplasty
What is Endoscopic Tympanoplasty?
Endoscopic tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure involving the middle ear and eardrum. Tympanoplasty is used to correct conditions where the eardrum is damaged or perforated. Endoscopic tympanoplasty is a less invasive method compared to traditional surgical techniques and is usually performed using micro-endoscopes or endoscopic cameras.
Endoscopic tympanoplasty may include these basic steps:
Anaesthesia: The patient is usually given local or general anaesthesia to numb the surgical site.

Endoscopic Intervention: The endoscope is brought into the middle ear through the ear canal or external auditory canal. The endoscope allows the surgeon to visualise and operate on the middle ear and eardrum.
Eardrum Repair: If the eardrum is perforated or damaged, the surgeon will attempt to correct the condition. The hole is closed and the damaged tissues are repaired.
Hearing Ossicles Repair: If the ossicles of the ear (the covering, anvil and hammer) are damaged, the surgeon can repair or replace them.
Stitches and Repair: Once the eardrum and auditory ossicles are repaired, appropriate sutures are used and an ear-protective bandaid is applied.
Endoscopic tympanoplasty may offer advantages compared to conventional surgery. It requires a smaller incision, causes less tissue damage and the patient's recovery may be faster. It also offers a better surgical view and the ability to perform a more precise surgery.
After surgery, patients usually undergo a period of recovery and may need to be careful to avoid water contact with their ears. Endoscopic tympanoplasty is an effective surgical option that corrects ear problems such as hearing loss, ear pain or ear discharge.

How Long Do Endoscopic Tympanoplasty Treatments Take?
Endoscopic tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure used to repair eardrum damage or correct perforations. This procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia, which allows you to undergo the procedure comfortably and painlessly.
The duration of treatment may vary depending on several factors:
- Severity of Damage: The size and location of the eardrum damage or perforation can affect the length of treatment. More complex cases may require more time.
- Use of Endoscopic Technique: Endoscopic tympanoplasty is a more minimally invasive method than traditional surgery. This can speed up the healing process and shorten the hospital stay.
- Patient Characteristics: How the patient feels, body structure, general health and other factors can also affect the duration of treatment.
On average, the endoscopic tympanoplasty procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours. However, each patient is unique and the treatment time can be adapted to individual needs.
Immediately after the procedure, you may need to stay under observation for several hours. You are usually discharged from hospital the same day or the next day. The recovery process varies from person to person, but you are usually likely to return to normal activities within a few weeks.

Endoscopic Tympanoplasty Treatment Price
For those suffering from ear problems such as hearing loss, ear pain and ear discharge, endoscopic tympanoplasty treatment can be an important solution. This procedure aims to repair or improve the eardrum and is used to restore hearing function. However, the cost of treatment is an important question mark in the minds of many patients.
The prices of endoscopic tympanoplasty treatment can vary depending on a number of factors. Here are some of these factors:
- The Ear to be Treated and the Severity of the Disorder: Each patient's ear problem is different and treatment requirements may vary. The difference between a minor membrane hole repair and a more complex procedure can affect the cost.
- Choice of Health Institution and Doctor: Where and which doctor will perform the treatment can also affect prices. A specialised ENT doctor and an experienced healthcare institution can increase the success of treatment, but this can also increase the cost.
- Insurance Coverage: Health insurance may partially or fully cover the cost of endoscopic tympanoplasty treatment. It is important to check your insurance company's policies and coverage.
Endoscopic tympanoplasty treatment is usually assessed at a cost based on patient specificity. Therefore, it is important to consult an ENT specialist or healthcare institution to get an exact price. The cost of treatment should influence your decision to invest in your health and restore hearing function.
Remember that ear health is critical to quality of life. Hearing problems can negatively impact daily life and therefore investing in treatment can be a great benefit in the long run. Prioritising your health is always the best investment.
Who Can Have Endoscopic Tympanoplasty Treatment?
Endoscopic tympanoplasty treatment may be an option if the eardrum is perforated or torn for any reason.
Chronic ear infections can damage the eardrum and may require treatment. Endoscopic tympanoplasty can be used to repair the eardrum.
Constant watering in the ear may indicate perforation or damage to the eardrum. In this case, endoscopic tympanoplasty may be an option for correction.
People with hearing loss, especially those with hearing loss due to a ruptured eardrum, may consider this treatment. Endoscopic tympanoplasty can improve hearing function.
Those with recurrent ear infections may consider endoscopic tympanoplasty treatment. This procedure can help prevent recurrent infections.
People who suffer from chronic ear pain and this condition is caused by eardrum problems may consider endoscopic tympanoplasty treatment. This procedure can relieve pain and improve ear health.
Is there an age limit for endoscopic tympanoplasty?
In general, there is no age limit for endoscopic tympanoplasty treatment. That is, the treatment can be applied at any age. This procedure can be performed successfully in both children and adults.
Especially in children, ear problems are common and can affect the development of hearing function. Therefore, endoscopic tympanoplasty can be an effective option for the treatment of eardrum problems in children. However, before starting treatment, the age and general health of the child are taken into consideration.
It is the same for adults. Problems such as hearing loss, ear pain or ear infections tend to increase with age. Endoscopic tympanoplasty can also be successfully performed in elderly patients.
As a result, there is no age limit for endoscopic tympanoplasty treatment. The treatment is planned depending on the individual's specific condition and needs. Since ear problems can significantly affect quality of life, this procedure can be used to improve a patient's ear health at any age. It is important to consult an ENT specialist for further information and assessment of appropriate treatment options.
