Book Appointment for Tympanomastoidectomy
Tympanomastoidectomy is referred to as a combined tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy procedure. It treats chronic middle ear infections and other medical conditions that may damage the eardrum and the associated tissue. It is specifically indicated for cholesteatoma, where there is an abnormal growth of a cyst in the middle ear. During this surgical procedure, the cyst is removed by the surgeon from all the involved areas, such as the eardrum, ear canal, middle ear, hearing bones, and mastoid bones. The procedure also involves repairing the damage done by the cyst. The surgeon places the cartilage in place of bone erosion and metal prosthesis at places where the hearing bones have been damaged. It helps in regaining hearing. Most commonly, it is used for treating cholesteatoma.

The choice of approach depends upon the infection and the condition underlying the ear.
The tympanomastoidectomy is divided into two parts. They are:
The surgeon, if necessary, also replaces the inner ear bones through the prosthetic (a synthetic material) to restore or improve hearing.
When there is any sound developed outside the ear, it travels to the external auditory canal in the form of vibration. Eventually, it strikes the eardrum (tympanum). The eardrum vibrates, and the vibrations are then passed to 3 small bones present in the ear. These bones are called ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes). The ossicles amplify the sound. The amplified sounds are sent to the hearing organ, the cochlea.
