Q. Kindly guide me about the advantages and disadvantages of eardrum surgery.
Hello doctor,
My daughter, 11 years old, has her eardrum damaged. I want to know the advantages and disadvantages of ear drum surgery.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern and here I would like to say that if your daughter is having an acute perforation of eardrum then that may heal by consecutive medical treatment. On the other hand, if it is a chronic perforation then surgery is the only treatment. Usually surgical results are good and the patient gets cured but unfortunately, sometimes complications develop like the failure of surgery by a rejection of the graft, hearing loss, recurrence of discharge, facial palsy.
