Myringoplasty Surgery - Important points to keep in mind while looking Doctor for Myringoplasty


Myringoplasty Surgery

Myringoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair a hole in the eardrum (tympanic membrane). It is typically performed by an otolaryngologist, also known as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor.

When looking for a surgeon to perform a myringoplasty, it is important to consider the following:

  • Experience: Look for a surgeon who has performed the procedure multiple times and has a high success rate.
  • Board certification: Make sure the surgeon is board certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology or a similar organization.
  • Facility: The surgery should be done in a hospital or accredited surgical facility to ensure proper safety and care.
  • Communication: It's important to find a surgeon that you feel comfortable communicating with, who will take the time to explain the procedure, risks, and recovery process to you.
  • Post-operative care: Make sure the ENT surgeon has a good post-operative care plan in place and available follow up visits.
  • It's also a good idea to get a second opinion from another surgeon before making a decision.

Turbinoplasty Surgery - explained by Dr. Rajesh Bhardwaj

Turbinoplasty Surgery Turbinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing nasal congestion and breathing difficulties caused by enlarged turbinates. The turbinates are bony structures covered in soft tissue located inside the nose, responsible for filtering, warming, and humidifying the air we breathe. When the turbinates become swollen due to allergies, chronic sinusitis, or other nasal conditions, it can lead to nasal obstruction and reduced airflow. Turbinoplasty involves the reduction or repositioning of the turbinates to improve nasal airflow and alleviate breathing problems.

Testing for Vertigo and Balance Disorder

Image
Vertigo, Dizziness, Giddiness are common symptoms that are poorly understood by the patient as well as physicians. It has been my experience that patients who suffer from a sudden episode of Vertigo reach the emergency unit of hospitals where they are admitted and subjected to a whole range of investigations, including a cardiac evaluation and an MRI of the brain. After a few days, the patient is discharged without reaching a conclusive diagnosis. It is well known that sudden episodes of Vertigo that incapacitate a patient usually arise out of an Ear pathology.  The cause has to be determined. For a patient suffering from Giddiness , a detailed history is very important - when do the giddy spells happen,  how long do they last,  any accompanying symptoms like nausea, vomiting, headache, or visual disturbances, what precipitates the attack - like turning in bed, going out in the hot sun, after a period of viral infection?   what medicine do you take to make it better? For patients in w
