Endoscopic Myringotomy Surgery in Nashik
Endoscopic Myringotomy is a minimally invasive ear surgery performed to drain fluid trapped behind the eardrum (middle ear) and restore normal hearing. When necessary, a tiny ventilation tube (grommet) is inserted to keep the middle ear aerated and reduce the risk of recurrent infections. At Patil ENT Hospital, Nashik, this procedure is performed using advanced rigid endoscopes that provide excellent visualization of the eardrum through the ear canal without an external incision.
Our experienced ENT surgeon offers comprehensive evaluation and evidence-based treatment for both children and adults suffering from persistent middle ear disease.
What is Endoscopic Myringotomy?
Endoscopic myringotomy involves making a small opening in the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to remove accumulated fluid or pus from the middle ear. In patients with recurrent ear infections or persistent middle ear fluid, a ventilation tube (grommet) may be inserted to maintain proper aeration.
The endoscopic approach offers:
- High-definition visualization
- No external incision
- Precise surgical technique
- Faster recovery
- Excellent cosmetic outcome
- Reduced tissue trauma
Indications for Surgery
Endoscopic Myringotomy is commonly recommended for:
- Otitis Media with Effusion (Glue Ear)
- Recurrent Acute Otitis Media
- Persistent middle ear fluid causing hearing loss
- Eustachian Tube Dysfunction
- Chronic negative middle ear pressure
- Speech delay due to hearing impairment in children
- Barotrauma-related middle ear fluid
- Selected cases of chronic ear infection
Symptoms
Patients may experience:
- Hearing loss
- Ear pain
- Ear fullness or blockage
- Recurrent ear infections
- Delayed speech development in children
- Poor school performance due to hearing impairment
- Balance disturbances
- Fever during acute infections
Advantages of Endoscopic Myringotomy
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Better visualization of the tympanic membrane
- Short surgical duration
- Reduced postoperative discomfort
- Faster recovery
- Improved hearing
- Lower recurrence with grommet insertion in selected patients
- Excellent cosmetic results
Surgical Procedure
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia in children and local or general anesthesia in adults.
During surgery:
- A high-definition endoscope is introduced through the ear canal.
- A tiny incision is made in the eardrum.
- Middle ear fluid or pus is carefully suctioned.
- A ventilation tube (grommet) is inserted when indicated.
- The patient is discharged on the same day in most cases.
The entire procedure generally takes 15–30 minutes.
Recovery
- Same-day discharge in most patients
- Mild discomfort for 1–2 days
- Hearing often improves immediately after fluid removal
- Return to school or work within 24–48 hours

Evidence-Based Meta-analysis
Systematic reviews of endoscopic ear surgery demonstrate that the endoscopic approach provides excellent visualization of the tympanic membrane and middle ear while minimizing tissue dissection. Meta-analyses comparing endoscopic with microscopic ear surgery have shown similar hearing outcomes and surgical success, with additional benefits including less postoperative pain, shorter operative time, improved cosmetic outcomes, and reduced need for external incisions in appropriately selected patients. Although most high-quality meta-analyses focus on tympanoplasty, these advantages support the use of endoscopic techniques for common transcanal procedures such as myringotomy when clinically appropriate.
