How does Top Ichilov achieve a 100% success rate in myringoplasty?

The professionalism of specialists, excellent equipment, and minimally invasive gentle surgeries are what patients can expect when deciding to undergo myringoplasty at Top Ichilov clinic.

Myringoplasty at Top Ichilov: stages

  • During the surgical intervention, a skin flap (micro incision) is excised behind the patient's ear, which serves as an autograft.
  • The access to the surgical field is through the ear canal.
  • The surgeon uses optical equipment and special instruments to place the autograft on the damaged tympanic membrane, securing it with absorbable sutures. Thus, the damage is repaired.
  • The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so there is no question of pain syndrome.
  • After the intervention, a sterile gauze tampon with an antibiotic is placed in the ear canal.
  • This prevents external contaminants from reaching the wound surface and prevents inflammation. The tampon is placed for three weeks and needs to be changed. During this time, the new membrane integrates, and the patient's hearing is restored.
  • Because the surgery is performed using a gentle method, it takes only 10 to 15 minutes. After the surgery, the patient can go home in just three hours. If the patient wishes, they can stay in the department for a day. During this time, the patient will be in a comfortable single or double room.

After myringoplasty, patients are advised to avoid contact with people suffering from viral diseases and to avoid getting cold. Under no circumstances should they close their nose when sneezing or inhale forcefully (suddenly and deeply) to avoid creating high pressure in the inner ear.

As a rule, the new tympanic membrane integrates excellently, and within a month after the myringoplasty surgery at TOP Ichilov, the patient forgets about hearing impairments.

Diagnosis of tympanic membrane integrity violations at Top Ichilov

Myringoplasty

Perforation of the tympanic membrane can occur due to trauma or pathological processes. When an infection affects the middle ear, otitis develops, which can be purulent in nature. In this disease, purulent exudate is released, and its accumulation in the inner ear can lead to a rupture of the tympanic membrane. Violation of the integrity of the tympanic membrane due to purulent or exudative otitis is a serious complication. The treatment of this complication is surgical intervention aimed at restoring the membrane.

Top Ichilov Medical Center is equipped with the most modern and reliable diagnostic equipment from the best manufacturers of medical technology.

The main method for diagnosing tympanic membrane perforation has been and remains otoscopy. For its implementation, a special funnel is placed in the ear canal by the doctor, and then, after certain manipulations, the doctor examines the tympanic membrane, assessing its integrity.

If purulent accumulations are found in the ear canal, the doctor may take samples for further analysis of antibiotic effectiveness. Considering the seriousness of the complications that may arise from perforation, it is essential to consult experienced diagnosticians at the first symptoms of this condition. The Top Ichilov clinic employs specialists with extensive experience in detecting perforation lesions of the tympanic membrane.
