Microscopic ear surgeries involve the use of a surgical microscope to provide high magnification and enhanced visualization of the ear’s intricate structures. This approach allows for precise manipulation and treatment of various ear conditions, particularly those affecting the middle and inner ear.

Indications

• Chronic otitis media with or without cholesteatoma
• Tympanic membrane perforations (eardrum holes)
• Ossicular chain dysfunction (issues with the small bones of hearing)
• Otosclerosis (abnormal bone growth in the middle ear)
• Tumors of the ear (e.g., acoustic neuroma)
• Certain types of hearing loss
• Congenital ear anomalies
