Appointment Helpline
Endoscopic ear surgery is performed for all ear conditions that require surgery, including:
Eardrum Perforation - Ruptured/torn eardrum due to injuries or infections
Chronic Otitis Media - Repeated ear infections
Middle Ear Bone Deformities - Abnormal bone development in the ear
Ossicular Discontinuity / Otosclerosis - Long-standing hearing loss
Cholesteatoma - Bone-eating infection of the middle ear
Mastoiditis - Bacterial infection of the mastoid bone (middle ear infection)
Glomus Tumour, Granuloma, & Osteoma - Tumours in the ear
Patients undergo a thorough evaluation, including hearing tests and imaging studies like CT or MRI scans, to determine the extent of the ear condition. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. A small incision is made in the ear canal or behind the ear, depending on the location of the condition being treated. This incision is used to insert the endoscope. It provides a detailed view of the ear's internal structures on a monitor. The surgeon uses specialised instruments inserted alongside the endoscope to remove the diseased tissue or repair the ear structures. After the surgery, the surgeon removes the endoscope. Next, the incision is closed with absorbable sutures. The patient is usually discharged on the same day, with follow-up visits scheduled to monitor healing and hearing function.
Eardrum surgery (Tympanoplasty)
A surgical procedure to repair a damaged or perforated eardrum. A patch of tissue is implanted onto the eardrum to restore its function and hearing.
Ossicular reconstruction (Ossiculoplasty)
A procedure that aims to repair the small bones (ossicles) in the middle ear that transmit sound vibrations. It involves replacing or reconstructing the damaged ossicles with artificial implants or donor tissue to restore hearing.
Cholesteatoma Surgery
A procedure to remove a cholesteatoma, a noncancerous skin growth that forms in the middle ear and destroys the ossicles and surrounding tissues. It also involves reconstructing the damaged parts of the ear.
Stapes Surgeries (Stapedectomy & Stapedotomy)
Both surgeries treat otosclerosis, a condition that causes the stapes bone (the smallest bone in the middle ear) to become fixed, preventing sound vibrations from reaching the inner ear and causing hearing loss. Prosthetic implants are used to replace the stapes and restore hearing.
Excision of Glomus Tumours (benign tumours of the ear)
This procedure removes a glomus tumour, a rare, noncancerous tumour that causes hearing loss and tinnitus. Excision of the tumour also involves preserving the surrounding tissues and structures.
Mastoidectomy
A procedure to access and treat diseases of the middle ear and mastoid bone, such as chronic ear infections or cholesteatoma. The diseased or infected tissues are removed in this surgery.
No visible scars – better cosmetic outcome
High precision, minimally invasive techniques
Minimal post-operative pain
Daycare surgery with early discharge
No head shaving or mastoid bandage
Minimal tissue dissection and bone drilling
Faster recovery – return to work sooner
Better visualisation of deeper areas of the middle ear
