πŸ‘‚ Myringotomy with T-Tube Insertion: What You Need to Know

Is your child or loved one suffering from frequent ear infections or hearing issues? Myringotomy with T-tube insertion might be the relief they need! At ENT Clinic of Excellence, the best ENT clinic in Dubai, our expert ENT surgeon in Dubai specializes in this safe and effective procedure to restore ear health and hearing.


πŸ” What is Myringotomy?

A myringotomy is a minor surgical procedure where a small incision is made in the eardrum (tympanic membrane) to relieve pressure caused by excessive fluid or to drain pus from the middle ear. This procedure is often followed by the placement of a tiny ventilation tubeβ€”commonly called a T-tubeβ€”to help maintain proper airflow and prevent future fluid buildup.


πŸ‘Ά Who Needs T-Tube Insertion?

T-tube insertion is commonly recommended for:

  • Children with recurrent ear infections (otitis media)
  • Adults with chronic middle ear fluid
  • Patients with eustachian tube dysfunction
  • Cases of temporary or permanent hearing loss due to fluid buildup

πŸ•’ The Procedure: Quick & Effective

Performed under general anesthesia (usually in children) or local anesthesia (in adults), the procedure typically lasts 10–15 minutes and is done as a day surgery. Here’s what to expect:

  1. A tiny incision is made in the eardrum.
  2. Any fluid is gently suctioned out.
  3. A small T-shaped tube is placed to ventilate the middle ear.

Patients can usually go home the same day!
