Micro Ear Surgery
Micro Ear Surgery is a type of surgery that is performed on the ear using a surgical microscope or an endoscope. This type of surgery is often used to treat various conditions affecting the ear, such as chronic ear infections, hearing loss, and disorders of the middle ear and inner ear.
During Micro Ear Surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision behind the ear or in the ear canal and uses specialized instruments and a microscope to operate on the ear. Because the surgical field is magnified, the surgeon is able to perform delicate and precise movements with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. This often results in faster healing times, less scarring, and better outcomes overall.
There are several types of Micro Ear Surgery procedures, including:
Tympanoplasty – This is a surgery that is performed to repair a perforated eardrum or a damaged middle ear. During the surgery, the surgeon uses tissue grafts to rebuild the eardrum or the middle ear.
Stapedectomy – This is a surgery that is performed to treat hearing loss caused by a damaged or diseased stapes bone. During the surgery, the surgeon removes the damaged stapes bone and replaces it with a prosthetic device.
Cochlear Implantation – This is a surgery that is performed to treat severe or profound hearing loss. During the surgery, the surgeon implants a small electronic device in the inner ear to help the patient hear sounds.
Mastoidectomy – This is a surgery that is performed to treat chronic ear infections or other conditions affecting the mastoid bone in the skull. During the surgery, the surgeon removes infected or diseased tissue from the mastoid bone.
