Tympanopasty: This is the procedure to repair an eardrum. There are many techniques available from paper patching and earlobe fat grafts to more invasive procedures. The paper patch and in many cases the fat graft are office procedures. Everything else is done in the OR. There is no completely non-surgical procedures available, unless the hole spontaneously closes. This usually occurs 4-6 weeks after injury.
