A perforated eardrum keeps you stuck in a cycle of recurring discharge, hearing dip and 'don't get water in that ear' warnings every monsoon. Tympanoplasty is the microsurgical repair that closes the hole, and very often improves hearing as a bonus.
An eardrum perforation is rarely the result of a single big trauma. Most are the long-term outcome of childhood ear infections that didn't fully heal, leaving a small hole that lets bacteria in every time water enters the ear. Each new infection brings discharge, mild hearing dip and the irritating need to skip swimming and head-washing.
Tympanoplasty closes that hole using a small graft taken from your own tissue, usually from behind the ear or from the ear cartilage. Done under an operating microscope, the surgery typically takes 60-90 minutes and is a day-care procedure for most patients in Rajkot.
A clear, no-jargon walk-through of the symptoms that lead to surgery, and the exact steps inside the operating theatre.
We recommend tympanoplasty when a perforation is causing repeated problems, not just sitting silent:
Tympanoplasty is microsurgery, done with an operating microscope and very fine instruments.
A realistic timeline of how Rajkot patients typically recover, what's normal, what's not, when to call.
Mild ear ache, cotton ball at ear canal. Painkillers as needed.
Most patients back at office work.
Pack and stitches removed at follow-up.
Healing checked with otoscopy + repeat audiometry. Most show improved hearing.
Tympanoplasty in Rajkot ranges from ₹35,000 to ₹70,000 depending on graft material and whether ossicular reconstruction is needed.
Hearing improves in most patients, especially when the perforation is the main problem. If the small ear bones are also damaged, additional reconstruction may be needed and we discuss that in advance.
Tympanoplasty is delicate but not 'major' in the sense of long stays or big risk. For most patients it's a day-care surgery with same-evening discharge.
Small recent perforations sometimes heal on their own. Long-standing or recurrent perforations almost never heal without surgery.
Yes, once the graft has fully healed and your surgeon clears it, swimming and head-washing become safe again.
Standard tympanoplasty is usually ₹35,000-₹55,000. We give a written estimate before admission so there are no surprises.
