Endoscopic Myringoplasty – Eardrum Reconstruction
Endoscopic myringoplasty – a modern approach to eardrum reconstruction
Minimally invasive approach. No external incisions. Enhanced visualization. Faster recovery. Endoscopic myringoplasty is an advanced surgical technique that enables effective eardrum reconstruction through a natural pathway.
Causes and consequences of eardrum perforation
Eardrum perforations (ruptures) most commonly occur due to chronic middle ear infections or as a result of injury. A damaged eardrum can lead to various problems:
- reduced hearing quality
- ear discharge and leakage
- recurring ear pain and infections
- increased sensitivity to water and infections
Advantages of the endoscopic approach to eardrum reconstruction
At St. Catherine Specialty Hospital, we use an advanced technique for eardrum reconstruction – endoscopic myringoplasty. This modern method offers significant benefits:
- minimally invasive approach – the procedure is performed through the natural ear canal
- no external incisions – no visible scars behind the ear
- bone preservation – no need for bone drilling
- enhanced visualization – modern 4K endoscopes provide a better view of the surgical field
- high precision – more accurate eardrum reconstruction
- use of the patient’s own tissue – reconstruction is performed with autologous tissue for optimal compatibility
- less postoperative discomfort – reduced pain compared to traditional techniques
- faster recovery – quicker return to daily activities
Expert surgical performance
Mislav Malić, M.D., Ph.D., a specialist with extensive experience in endoscopic ear surgery, performs this advanced procedure using state-of-the-art endoscopes. With a precise approach through the ear canal, dr. Malić reconstructs the eardrum using the patient's own tissue, allowing for optimal integration and excellent long-term results.
Postoperative results and recovery
Postoperative results and recovery
Endoscopic myringoplasty offers an effective solution for eardrum perforation:
- stops ear discharge
- reduces the risk of recurrent infections
- improves hearing
- restores middle ear function
- prevents possible complications of a damaged eardrum
