A tympanomeatal flap is a surgical technique used in ear surgery, particularly in procedures involving the middle ear and tympanic membrane (eardrum). It involves creating a flap of skin and underlying tissue from the canal wall to access the middle ear for various interventions, such as repairing perforations, removing cholesteatomas, or addressing other ear pathologies. This approach allows for optimal visualization and treatment while preserving the integrity of the ear canal. The flap is typically repositioned after the procedure to promote healing.
