1. Tympanoplasty (Eardrum Repair Surgery)
A procedure to repair a perforated eardrum (tympanic membrane), often caused by chronic infection or trauma.
Indications:
- Persistent ear discharge
- Hearing loss due to perforation
- Recurrent infections
Benefits:
- Closure of eardrum perforation
- Improvement in hearing
- Prevention of recurrent infections
2. Mastoidectomy
A surgical procedure to remove infected air cells in the mastoid bone, typically performed in chronic or complicated ear infections.
Indications:
- Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM)
- Cholesteatoma
- Persistent ear discharge not responding to treatment
Goals:
- Complete removal of disease
- Creation of a safe, dry ear
3. Ossiculoplasty
Reconstruction of the tiny hearing bones (ossicles) in the middle ear to improve sound transmission.
Indications:
- Damage to ossicles due to infection or trauma
- Conductive hearing loss
Outcome:
Significant improvement in hearing in selected patients
4. Myringotomy with Grommet Insertion
A minor procedure where a small incision is made in the eardrum and a tiny tube (grommet) is inserted to drain fluid.
Common in:
- Children with recurrent ear infections
- Persistent middle ear fluid (glue ear)
Benefits:
- Relief from ear pressure
- Improved hearing
- Reduced frequency of infections
6. Stapedotomy
A surgical procedure recommended for ossicular fixation or otosclerosis in which the hearing bone attached to the inner ear becomes ‘fixed’ or immobile.
Benefits of the surgery are significant reversal of the conductive hearing loss and significant relief from ringing noise in the ear (tinnitus) which occurs as a result of the hearing loss
Apart from these, microscopic ear cleaning for wax or infections, ear lobe repair, pinna keloid treatments, Pinna seroma treatment and ear piercing are other minor procedures done frequently at Sahawas ENT clinic by Dr Dani.
We have a fully functioning OT with an operating ear microscope to carry out ear procedures and surgeries.
