If you or your child is suffering from a perforated eardrum, conductive hearing loss, or recurrent chronic ear infections, it may be time to consider myringoplasty, a safe and effective surgical procedure to repair the tympanic membrane. At Curis Life – Andheri West’s trusted multispecialty clinic, our expert ENT specialists perform precise, minimally invasive eardrum surgery using the latest microsurgical techniques to restore hearing and protect long-term ear health.
What is Myringoplasty?
Myringoplasty is a type of otologic surgery aimed at repairing a perforated eardrum (also known as a tympanic membrane perforation). It involves placing a patch or graft to seal the hole in the eardrum, often caused by otitis media, trauma, or prolonged infections.
It is one of the most common ENT surgeries and is sometimes referred to interchangeably with tympanoplasty, although myringoplasty focuses only on the eardrum, while tympanoplasty may include middle ear reconstruction.
Indications for Myringoplasty
You may be a candidate for myringoplasty if you experience:
- Persistent ear discharge from a chronic ear infection
- Hearing loss due to a perforated eardrum
- Frequent otitis media episodes
- History of ear trauma or injury
- Conductive hearing loss affecting daily life
- Recurrent ear infections despite medication
- Difficulty swimming or water exposure due to ear issues
