Ear conditions

• Mastoiditis: Mastoiditis is a bacterial infection of the mastoid air cells which surrounds the middle and inner ear. The mastoid bone which has air cells is the part of the temporal bone of the skull. The mastoid air cells can protect the structures of the ear, which regulates the ear pressure and protect the temporal bone during the trauma.

The mastoiditis most often develops as the result of the middle ear infection. The bacteria from the middle ear can travel into the air cells of the mastoid bone. The growing collection of the skin cells which are known as cholesteatoma can block the drainage of the ear which leads to mastoiditis.

The symptoms of the mastoiditis are:

• Drooping of the ear
• Swelling of the ear lobe
• Irritability and lethargy
• Drainage from the ear

Treatments of Mastoiditis

Antibiotics therapy is the main treatment for mastoiditis. If you are diagnosed with the mastoiditis, you may also be taken into the hospital. Antibiotics will be given to treat the infection. Surgery may also be required to drain the fluid from the ear which is known as myringotomy. During the myringotomy process, the doctor will make a hole in the eardrum to drain out the fluid and it will also relieve the pressure from the ear. The doctor may insert a small tube into the ear, so that the hole doesn’t get close and it will allow the drainage. The tube will fall out after 5 to 12 months.

• Tympanoplasty: A tympanoplasty is performed if the hole in your eardrum is large or if you are having any chronic ear infection which is not cured with the help of antibiotics. You will be in the hospital for the surgery and you will be placed under anesthesia. You will remain unconscious during the procedure. The surgeon will use the laser to carefully remove the excess tissue which is built up in your middle ear. The doctor will take a small piece of tissue from a vein onto your eardrum to close out the hole. The surgeon will go through the ear canal to repair the eardrum or make a small incision behind the ear.

• Stapedectomy: The surgery is done in the hospital. The doctor will give you general anesthesia. The doctor will use a microscope to look inside your ear. The doctor will make a cut in the ear canal which would be near the eardrum and then eardrum will be lifted away from the middle ear. Three ear bones present in the ear will be checked which will make sure that stapes is the cause of the hearing loss. In some cases, the laser can be used. The new stapes will reconnect the 2 ear ones to the inner ear. The surgery will take about 1-2 hours.

• Myringotomy: The myringotomy is performed via the general anesthesia when it’s done in the hospital. The ear will be prepared with a solution that reduces the possibility of the ear infection. The doctor will use a laser instrument to create a tiny hole in the eardrum and removing the fluid which is present in the ear. A tympanoplasty tube will be inserted inside the ear, which would heal and close the tube. If the middle ear tube is the reason for the surgery, then a gentle suction may be applied which will remove the significant amount of the fluid. The surgery is completed or the doctor will treat the ear opposite ear with the same infection.
