Otolaryngology and ENT

Myringotomy is a distinctive surgical procedure to make hole in the ear drum. It is generally paired with inclusion of a tympanostomytube, a tiny tube that is placed in recently created hole in the ear drum, which allows infected material to discard from the middle ear. The process is performed by the otolaryngologist or ENT Surgeon. The surgery might be performed on one ear if the middle ear issue is available just on one ear or on the both ears if necessary. The surgery is most frequently performed on children less than five years of age but may also performed on older children and adults. The procedure is temporary solution, yet can be repeated if necessary, as the ear tubes eventually fall out.
