A hole in the eardrum or damage to the middle ear bones can affect hearing and quality of life. At the Dallas Ear Institute, our specialists perform tympanoplasty to reconstruct the eardrum and, when needed, the small bones of the middle ear.
Using advanced microsurgical techniques, the eardrum is repaired with grafts taken from the fascia or cartilage restoring normal structure and improving hearing. Most procedures are minimally invasive and allow patients to return home the same day.

Tympanoplasty can be performed entirely through the ear canal or may require an incision behind the ear. Surgery that includes the mastoid bone behind the ear is known as a tympanomastoidectomy.
