What all is involved when repairing a hole in the ear drum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Myringoplasty: Hello, to repair a tympanic membrane perforation first it needs to be dry and free of infection. The repair can be a simple paper patch that sits over the eardrum hole (myringoplasty) to a complicated procedure that involves taking a graft of tissue from one area of your body to use to recreate a new eardrum. (tympanoplasty).
