Treatments Offered

Our surgical services include advanced, evidence-based procedures such as:

• Tympanoplasty (Type I–V): Repair of eardrum perforations with grafting techniques (fascia, cartilage) to restore membrane integrity and middle ear function.

• Endoscopic Tympanoplasty: Minimally invasive approach using endoscopes for excellent visualization, reduced tissue disruption and faster recovery.

• Ossiculoplasty & Hearing Reconstruction: Reconstruction of the ossicular chain using prostheses or autologous grafts to improve conductive hearing loss.

• Mastoid Surgery (Cortical & Modified Radical Mastoidectomy): Clearance of infected mastoid air cells and cholesteatoma to prevent spread and complications.

• Cholesteatoma Excision: Complete removal of disease with careful preservation of hearing structures and staged procedures when necessary.

• Mastoid Reconstruction & Canal Wall Repair: Reconstruction for safe, dry ear outcomes and improved long-term function.

Symptoms & Causes

Consider surgical evaluation if you experience:

• Persistent ear discharge or recurrent infections

• Chronic hearing loss associated with eardrum perforation

• Ear pain, pressure, or fullness despite medical treatment

• Evidence of cholesteatoma, balance issues, or worsening hearing on imaging or examination

Causes include chronic suppurative otitis media, trauma, prior surgery, persistent Eustachian tube dysfunction, or cholesteatoma formation. Imaging (CT/MRI) and audiometry guide surgical planning and prognosis.

Preoperative & Postoperative Care

Optimising outcomes involves careful preparation and follow-up:

• Preoperative assessment including audiometry, imaging and medical optimisation

• Minimally invasive techniques where appropriate to reduce pain and recovery time

• Postoperative care with wound monitoring, ear precautions and scheduled audiology follow-up

• Long-term surveillance for disease recurrence, especially after cholesteatoma surgery
