Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing a damaged tympanic membrane (eardrum) or the structures of the middle ear. It is often performed to improve hearing, prevent recurrent ear infections, or address complications from chronic otitis media. The surgery typically involves grafting tissue to restore the eardrum's integrity and function. Recovery may vary, but patients often experience improved hearing and a reduction in ear-related issues post-surgery.
