About the clinic
Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair a perforated eardrum and restore hearing. At Instituto de Otorrino in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, specialists perform this surgery using advanced techniques to treat various stages of middle ear damage. This TEMOS-accredited facility is a dedicated ENT hospital with over 55 years of experience in ear care.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The surgeons at the clinic typically use an incision behind the ear to reach the middle ear. They repair the eardrum using a graft, which is a small piece of tissue. This tissue often comes from the patient’s own muscle or fascia to help the body accept the repair naturally. Synthetic materials are also available if needed. The clinic features five modern operating rooms and private apartments for patient recovery.
Types of Tympanoplasty
The medical team tailors the procedure to the specific damage found in the ear. There are four main levels of repair provided at the clinic:
- Type I for small or medium holes where the tiny ear bones remain healthy.
- Type II for cases where the ear bones need minor reconstruction.
- Type III for large perforations that require more significant bone repair.
- Type IV for complex disease affecting both the middle ear and the mastoid bone.
Expert Medical Team
The department is led by experienced otorhinolaryngologists. Dr. Sinval Pereira dos Santos serves as the General President and Technical Director of the institute. Dr. Bruno Pestana Gomes and Dr. Cheng T. Ping coordinate the medical specialization programs at the hospital. The team also includes Dra. Juliana Gomes Paulino, who is a member of the Brazilian Society of Otorhinolaryngology.
Recovery and Aftercare
Before the surgery, every patient undergoes a pre-anesthetic evaluation and a full risk assessment. After the procedure, full recovery usually takes a few weeks. Patients must follow specific steps to help the ear heal correctly:
- Keep the ear completely dry and avoid water exposure.
- Do not insert any objects, such as cotton swabs, into the ear canal.
- Complete the full course of prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection.
