Tympanoplasty in Turkey
Tympanoplasty is a surgery to repair the eardrum. The eardrum is a thin layer of tissue that vibrates in response to sound. During a tympanoplasty, the hole in the eardrum is patched.
The patch, also called a graft, can be made of: Tissue taken from around your child’s ear (cartilage or fascia) and Manmade material
The surgeon will put packing material behind and on top of the eardrum to keep the graft in place. This material dissolves over several weeks. The operation usually takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
In most cases, your child may return to his or her regular activities within 1 or 2 days after surgery. There is no need to restrict regular activity after your child feels back to normal.
