Myringotomy in Israel

Professor Efraim Evyatar

leading otolaryngologist, ENT surgeon

Infections, injuries, and pressure changes can lead to fluid accumulation in the middle ear. To preserve the patient's hearing and avoid other complications, doctors perform the removal of this effusion by puncturing the eardrum and draining the middle ear cavity. This procedure is called myringotomy.

Otolaryngologists at the TOP Ihilov clinic have been practicing myringotomy for many years. Patients of all ages, from very young children to elderly individuals, come to drain the middle ear cavity.

The main reasons why people prefer to undergo myringotomy at the TOP Ihilov clinic are:

• This medical center employs highly qualified specialists who are proficient in the most modern surgical techniques for middle ear intervention;
• The TOP Ihilov clinic has the latest medical equipment and computerized robotic technology, allowing for precise determination of the surgical intervention volume and facilitating the procedure through visualization on a screen.
• High level of service and comfortable accommodation for patients of the clinic
• Relatively low cost of medical services with sufficiently high quality. It should be noted that a similar procedure in clinics in Europe and the USA costs patients much more than in Israel.

Indications for Myringotomy:

Typically, myringotomy is performed for the purpose of:

• Laboratory analysis of the accumulated fluid, including studies to identify the causative agent of the disease;
• Eliminating the pressure difference between the tympanic cavity and the external environment by placing a tympanostomy tube. This helps to prevent recurrence of the disease and fluid accumulation in the middle ear cavity.
• Restoring hearing lost due to fluid accumulation in the tympanic cavity. In some cases, removing the effusion in the middle ear can prevent delays in timely speech development in children.

Myringotomy at the TOP Ihilov Clinic

All patients scheduled for myringotomy at the TOP Ihilov clinic undergo diagnostic examination and preparation for the surgical intervention. The diagnostics include hearing tests, a complete blood count, otoscopic examination of the outer ear and eardrum, as well as tympanometry – recording the eardrum's response to pressure changes.

Myringotomy at the TOP Ihilov clinic is performed under general anesthesia using microsurgical instruments and a special microscope. Through a tiny incision, the middle ear cavity is drained, and a small tube is inserted into the eardrum to prevent subsequent fluid accumulation. It should be noted that after normalizing the patient's condition, the tube is removed, and the incision heals on its own.

The TOP Ihilov clinic also practices laser myringotomy for exudative otitis media. The advantages of this type of laser technology include:

• High efficiency and absolute safety for the patient;
• Short duration of the procedure (up to 15 minutes) and postoperative period (up to 24 hours);
• Minimizing the risk of possible complications.

Thanks to the use of the most modern technologies and years of practice, the doctors at the TOP Ihilov clinic have helped many people overcome hearing impairments. Don't miss your opportunity!
