Endoscopic Ear Surgery
Endoscopic Ear Surgery in Bangalore
Endoscopic ear surgery is a minimally invasive technique to treat various ear conditions, such as chronic otitis media, cholesteatoma, and ear tumours. This procedure utilizes an endoscope, a thin tube with a camera and light, to give the surgeon a magnified view of the ear structures, enabling precise surgical interventions with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissues.
When Do You Need an Endoscopic Ear Surgery?
Endoscopic ear surgery is performed for all ear conditions that require surgery, including:
-
Eardrum Perforation - Ruptured/torn eardrum due to injuries or infections
-
Chronic Otitis Media - Repeated ear infections
-
Middle Ear Bone Deformities
-
Ossicular Discontinuity / Otosclerosis - Long-standing hearing loss
-
Cholesteatoma - Bone-eating infection of the middle ear
-
Mastoiditis - Bacterial infection of the mastoid bone (middle ear infection)
-
Glomus Tumor, Granuloma, & Osteoma - Tumors of the ear
Patients undergo a thorough evaluation, including hearing tests and imaging studies like CT or MRI scans, to determine the extent of the ear condition. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. A small incision is made in the ear canal or behind the ear, depending on the location of the condition being treated. This incision is used to insert the endoscope. It provides a detailed view of the ear's internal structures on a monitor. The surgeon uses specialized instruments inserted alongside the endoscope to remove the diseased tissue or repair the ear structures. After the surgery, the surgeon removes the endoscope. Next, the incision is closed with absorbable sutures. The patient is usually discharged on the same day, with follow-up visits scheduled to monitor healing and hearing function.
Common Ear Surgeries
- Eardrum surgery (Tympanoplasty)
A surgical procedure to repair a damaged or perforated eardrum. A patch of tissue is implanted into the eardrum to restore its function and hearing.
-
Ossicular reconstruction (Ossiculoplasty)
A procedure that aims to repair the small bones (ossicles) in the middle ear that transmit sound vibrations. It involves replacing or reconstructing the damaged ossicles with artificial implants or donor tissue to restore hearing.
-
Cholesteatoma Surgery
A procedure to remove a cholesteatoma, a noncancerous skin growth that forms in the middle ear and destroys the ossicles and surrounding tissues. It also involves reconstructing the damaged parts of the ear.
- Stapes surgeries (Stapedectomy & Stapedotomy)
Both surgeries treat otosclerosis, a condition that causes the stapes bone (the smallest bone in the middle ear) to become fixed, preventing sound vibrations from reaching the inner ear and causing hearing loss. Prosthetic implants are used to replace the stapes and restore hearing.
-
Excision of Glomus Tumors (benign tumors of the ear)
This procedure removes a glomus tumour, a rare, noncanceroustumourr that causes hearing loss and tinnitus. Excision of thtumouror also involves preserving the surrounding tissues and structures.
-
Mastoidectomy
A procedure to access and treat diseases of the middle ear and mastoid bone such as chronic ear infections or cholesteatoma. The diseased or infected tissues are removed in this surgery.
