Deformity Correction Surgery Cost in Kolkata

Before starting the surgery, the doctor performs the physical examination of the patient and goes through his/her medical history. From a patient's history, a doctor typically looks for important aspects like hearing loss, duration of perforation, vertigo, otitis media, the severity of otalgia and more.

In physical examination, the doctor focuses on otomicroscopy and pneumatic otoscopy. On the basis of these examinations, the doctor prepares a plan of treatment.

There are different types of tympanoplasty. Depending on the type of tympanoplasty, the surgery can be performed under general or local anesthesia. The doctor makes an incision in the ear canal. They use an operating microscope to see the enlarged structure of the ear. 

If the perforation is large or away from the view of the surgeon, it becomes necessary to make an incision behind the ear. Then the scar tissues are removed with the help of microhooks or laser. 

After all the medication and required procedure, the doctor closes the incision site with the help of stitches. Usually, these stitches dissolve in the skin and do not need to be removed later.

Usually, the patient can return home the same day or a day after the surgery. The doctor will provide antibiotics and pain relievers to reduce pain and discomfort. 

After 10 days the patient needs to visit the doctor to see if the graft is successful removed or not. The patient needs to take care of the following things after the procedure:

• Keep the ear away from water

• Avoid heavy weight lifting

• Avoid going to the gym for at least 4 weeks
