Grommet Insertion Surgery in Bangalore

Grommet insertion, or tympanostomy, is a straightforward surgical procedure performed to alleviate chronic middle ear problems, particularly in children. These issues often stem from persistent fluid accumulation, known as otitis media with effusion, or recurrent ear infections. The procedure involves creating a tiny incision in the eardrum and placing a small, tube-like device called a grommet. This device helps ventilate the middle ear, allowing air to enter and preventing fluid build-up.

The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia for children and local anaesthesia for adults. It is minimally invasive and typically takes only 15 to 30 minutes. The grommets remain in place for six to twelve months, after which they naturally fall out as the eardrum heals. During this period, patients experience significant relief from symptoms such as hearing loss, earache, and a sensation of fullness in the ear.
