Ear surgeries play a crucial role in treating various conditions affecting hearing, balance, and overall ear health. Dr. Pavan Kumar M specializes in advanced ear procedures that not only treat infections and structural abnormalities but also restore or improve hearing capabilities.
A procedure performed to remove infected mastoid air cells. Chronic ear infections can spread to the mastoid bone behind the ear, leading to complications such as hearing loss or even life-threatening conditions like brain abscesses. During a mastoidectomy, Dr. Pavan carefully removes the infected tissue while preserving the ear's structural integrity.
Aimed at repairing a perforated eardrum (tympanic membrane) and damaged middle ear bones. A perforated eardrum can cause hearing loss and recurrent ear infections. Tympanoplasty not only restores hearing but also prevents future infections.
A delicate microsurgical procedure used to treat otosclerosis, a condition where abnormal bone growth in the middle ear leads to hearing loss. During the surgery, the immobilized stapes bone is replaced with a prosthetic, restoring the transmission of sound to the inner ear.
Commonly performed in children suffering from chronic ear infections or fluid accumulation (otitis media with effusion). A small incision is made in the eardrum to drain fluid, and a tiny tube (grommet) is placed to allow continuous ventilation of the middle ear, reducing the risk of infections and improving hearing.
Dr. Pavan uses advanced techniques and equipment, ensuring high success rates with minimal complications. His approach focuses on preserving natural hearing whenever possible while preventing the recurrence of infections. Post-operative care includes regular follow-ups and hearing assessments to monitor the patient’s recovery and hearing improvement.
