Surgical treatment – safe perforation
In a very small
safe type of central perforation of the ear drum there is a likely
chance of the perforation healing. But in cases of a medium or
large central perforation of the ear drum the defect does not heal
spontaneously and has to be sealed using a tissue graft. This type of
surgery done only to seal the defect in the ear drum is known as myringoplasty.
In adults this procedure can be performed usually under local anaesthesia. If
this defect in the drum is accompanied by damage to the tiny bones of conduction
in the ME, repair or replacement of the damaged ear bones have to be performed
in addition to sealing the drum. This procedure is known as tympanoplasty.
Both these surgeries give excellent hearing improvement in addition to putting
an end to recurrent ear discharge.
