Myringotomy

Myringotomy is a minor surgical procedure to relieve ear pressure or drain fluid. It’s especially effective for chronic ear infections or hearing issues due to fluid buildup.

Description

Myringotomy involves making a tiny incision in the eardrum (tympanic membrane) to release trapped fluid or pus from the middle ear. Often, a small ventilation tube (grommet) is placed to prevent fluid reaccumulation and allow air flow.

This procedure is commonly performed in children but also benefits adults suffering from persistent ear infections, eustachian tube dysfunction, or barotrauma. It improves hearing, reduces infections, and relieves pressure-related discomfort with minimal downtime.
