About the clinic

Treatment for a ruptured eardrum is available at Instituto de Otorrino in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This TEMOS-accredited facility specializes in ear, nose, and throat care. Patients benefit from a dedicated surgical block with 5 operating rooms and 24-hour ENT emergency services.

Diagnostic testing for ear perforation

The medical team uses several tests to check the extent of the eardrum damage. These tests help determine the impact on hearing and the health of the middle ear. Patients can complete all necessary imaging and hearing assessments on-site.

Video-endoscopy. A tiny camera provides a clear view of the perforation.
Audiometry (tonal and vocal). This test measures how well the patient hears different sounds and speech.
Impedance audiometry. Doctors use this to check the pressure and movement in the middle ear.
Brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA). This assesses the hearing nerve pathways to the brain.
Vestibular testing. These tests check for balance issues often linked to ear damage.

Tympanoplasty surgical options

Tympanoplasty is the primary surgery used to repair a perforated eardrum at the clinic. Surgeons use grafts made from the patient's own tissue, such as fascia, or synthetic materials. The procedure aims to stop recurrent infections and improve hearing levels. The clinic offers four types of tympanoplasty based on the severity of the case:

Type I. This repairs simple perforations when the middle ear bones are healthy.
Type II. Used when the eardrum is perforated and the first ear bone is damaged.
Type III. This addresses large perforations and involves reconstructing the middle ear bones.
Type IV. This technique treats advanced middle ear and mastoid disease.

Surgical care and recovery

Surgery typically happens as an outpatient procedure or requires one night in the hospital. Patients stay in private rooms equipped with a minibar, air conditioning, and a TV. The clinic provides accommodation for a companion to stay with the patient. A pre-anesthetic evaluation protocol is followed for every patient before they enter the operating room. Full recovery generally takes a few weeks, and the medical team monitors healing during follow-up visits. If you are experiencing hearing loss or ear pain, you can request a consultation through Bookimed to explore treatment options.

The clinic operates as a hospital-style center with a dedicated building focused entirely on ENT care for adults and children.

Accreditations and Professional Team

The clinic holds international TEMOS accreditation, meeting global quality standards for medical care. A team of nine specialists manages the clinical staff, including Dr. Sinval Pereira dos Santos and Dr. Juliana Gomes Paulino. Several physicians focus on rhinoplasty and functional nasal procedures, such as Dr. Bárbara Andrade and Dr. Flávio Barbosa.

ENT Specialties and Procedures

The facility combines routine consultations with complex surgical care. Specialists cover several core areas:

Laryngology and Voice Care: Specialists treat voice disorders and vocal cord paralysis using laryngeal microsurgery.
Otology and Neurotology: The team manages hearing loss and ear conditions through tympanoplasty and mastoidectomy.
Pediatric ENT: Doctors treat enlarged adenoids and tonsils in children to improve breathing and sleep.

For patients with severe hearing impairment, the clinic offers cochlear implants and BAHA bone-anchored prostheses.

Diagnostic and Surgical Technologies

The clinic has a surgical block with five operating rooms and dedicated diagnostic spaces. Surgeons perform endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis and septoplasty to correct deviated septums. Specialized rooms for microscopy, audiometry, and vestibular testing support precise surgical planning.

Advanced diagnostic services include:

Video-laryngo-stroboscopy: Rigid endoscopes analyze vocal fold vibration to guide voice disorder treatment.
Bera (PEATE): Brainstem evoked response audiometry evaluates auditory pathways in infants and adults.
Polysomnography: A dedicated sleep lab conducts full-night testing with CPAP titration for apnea calibration.
Endoscopy: Flexible and rigid optics allow detailed nasal and sinus examinations.

All surgical patients undergo a pre-anesthetic evaluation and risk assessment before any procedure.
