Medical Conditions - Tympanoplasty

Tympanoplasty is an operation done to repair a hole in the eardrum or middle ear with or without a tympanic membrane graft. The tissue graft is taken from behind the patient's ear, or a synthetic material graft may also be used. It can be done either under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. It takes at least 2 to 3 months for the patient to recover.
