Overview

Myringotomy
- Myringotomy involves creating an incision inside the tympanic membrane to relieve pressure by draining effusive fluid or suppuration.[1]
- It is indicated for recurrent cases of acute otitis media and chronic suppurative otitis media for the following presentations:[2]
- Persistent symptoms while undergoing microbial therapy.
- Suppurative complications.
- Severe ear pain requiring immediate relief.
- Indication for diagnostic tympanocentesis.
- Myringotomy accompanied by the additional insertion of a tympanostomy tube is indicated by the following :
- Eustachian tube dysfunction.
- Suppurative complication requiring additional drainage via the tympanostomy tube.
- Necessity to repair the tympanic membrane from eustachian tube dysfunction.
- Otorrhea is a possible complication of performing a myringotomy with a tympanostomy tube, affecting up to 17% of intubated ears.[3]
