An innovative surgical procedure in Otolaryngology
Endoscopic myringoplasty surgery is a surgical procedure used to repair damaged eardrum. In the high definition video of the Medical training app SurgSchool information on the procedure and its application is provided.
Procedure Highlights
- 💡 Minimally Invasive: Endoscopic myringoplasty is performed using an endoscope, allowing surgeons to visualize and repair the tympanic membrane without the need for large incisions. This significantly reduces recovery time and postoperative complications.
- 💡 Accurate Display: Use of the endoscope provides a clear, detailed view of the eardrum and surrounding structures, facilitating accurate and effective repair of the damage.
- 💡 General anesthesia: The procedure is carried out under general anesthesia, ensuring that the patient does not feel pain during the surgery. The duration of the procedure is usually one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
- 💡 Treatment of Eardrum Perforation: Endoscopic myringoplasty is especially useful for treating eardrum perforations. In addition to repairing damage, this procedure helps improve hearing and prevent recurring infections.
- 💡 Immediate Relief: Many patients experience immediate symptom relief after surgery, including improved hearing and a reduction in pain or discomfort associated with eardrum perforation.
- 💡 Fast recovery: Although recovery time may vary, rest and proper ear care are generally required for a few weeks. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure contributes to a faster and more comfortable recovery compared to traditional surgical techniques.
- 💡 High Success Rate: Endoscopic myringoplasty has very high success rates. Patients who undergo this procedure typically experience a significant improvement in their quality of life, with a notable reduction in eardrum-related problems.
