Tympanoplasty

#

Tympanoplasty is a procedure done for repairing a perforation in the ear drum with or without restoration of the middle ear hearing apparatus (ossiculoplasty). This is done under local anesthesia with sedation in the adult patient and under general anesthesia in children. It can be performed via a small incision behind the ear or sometimes in the ear canal itself. This can be done as a day care procedure.
