What is Myringotomy?

Myringotomy is a surgical procedure that involves making a small incision in the eardrum (tympanic membrane) to relieve pressure caused by excessive fluid accumulation or infection in the middle ear. This procedure is often combined with the placement of a tiny tube, known as a tympanostomy tube, to facilitate ongoing drainage and ventilation of the middle ear space.

Who Needs Myringotomy?

Myringotomy is primarily recommended for individuals, especially children, who experience chronic ear infections or have persistent fluid buildup in the middle ear that affects hearing. It's also an effective treatment for those suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction.
