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
