Middle Ear Infections

Chronic Otitis Surgery – Chronic Otitis Surgery

Chronic Otitis Media (COM), ear gyrus perforation, ear drainage, hearing loss lasting more than three months, and a medial ear inflammatory process that is not entirely resolved by medical treatment are all terms used to describe middle ear infections.

The middle ear is a small cavity in the skull. Ear glands are a membrane that separates them from the rest of the body. It is separated from the external environment by a membrane called the eardrum. The middle ear cavity is covered by the same mucous membrane that covers the mouth and nose, and this cavity is connected to the nasal passage at the back of the nose by a narrow channel called the Eustachian tube.

This sign and findings:

• Distortion of the eardrum’s integrity (hole in the eardrum)
• Distortion of the middle ear’s auditory cusps
• Ear discharge that has been present for a long time or that occurs frequently
• On the periphery; for example, inner ear balance or hearing damage caused by the hearing organ, facial nerves, or membranes surrounding the brain.

Surgery is recommended once the current infection has been controlled.

The therapy of chronic otitis surgery has three objectives;

• The removal of diseased tissue.
• Reshaping the mastoid bone, which is located directly below the middle ear and connects to the external ear canal.
• Preservation or improvement of hearing.
