Tympanostomy (Ear) Tube Placement

Clinical Information

A procedure used to treat frequently recurrent ear infections and/or persistent fluid in the middle ear space. Using a microscope for visualization, a small incision is made in the ear drum, fluid is suctioned away if present, and a tiny tube (approx 1 mm) is placed in the incision to keep it open and allow continued ventilation of the middle ear.
