A member asked:
Child had a tympanoplasty 16 months ago and the patch feel off should tympanoplasty be repeated or is there a more effective surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Defined by doc: This is something best answered by those with the advantage of knowing all the history & doing an exam.When a TM rupture does not seal up on its own, placing an artificial patch to create a surface where the membrane can have support while it seals or using a tissue graft are common options.
