Does the term myringoplasty mean cutting into the eardrum?

No, myringoplasty does not mean cutting into the eardrum. Instead, it refers to a surgical procedure aimed at repairing a perforated eardrum (tympanic membrane) by grafting tissue to close the hole. The procedure is typically performed to restore hearing and prevent infections. While it involves careful manipulation of the eardrum, the primary goal is to heal rather than to cut into it.
