When does a myringotomy become necessary?
A myringotomy, also known as flushing or aspiration of the middle ear, is the surgical drainage of fluids such as blood, pus, mucus, etc., that are trapped in the middle ear due to the tympanic membrane. The fluids can be the result of severe chronic or recurring middle ear infection with effusion, facial trauma, etc. It can also be necessary for diagnostic imaging if the fluids are interfering with the diagnostic imaging scans.
Similarly, if the patient needs repetitive ear drainage, then they may benefit from a tympanostomy in addition to a myringotomy. A myringotomy is one-time drainage of the ear canal by creating a tiny incision in the eardrum. On the other hand, a tympanostomy involves the insertion of tiny ear tubes (also known as tympanostomy tubes) in the ear canal so that they can continue to drain over a period of 6-9 months.

If you are looking for a treatment center for your myringotomy procedure in Lucknow, you may want to consider the following factors while deciding on the cost of the treatment:
Hospitalization cost
We all want the best treatment for us, and for most people, that translates to the most costly treatment. This isn't always true, as while Tier 1 hospitals generally provide more advanced treatment, Tier 2 (and 3) hospitals are also not far behind them in terms of advanced departments and expert surgical teams. Moreover, they provide treatment at comparatively more affordable prices.
Make sure you research the hospital you are getting your treatment in thoroughly before committing to it. Look through patient reviews and referrals to make sure it is the best hospital for you.
Post-surgical care and complications
Myringotomy is a relatively safe and minor surgery, however, the success of the operation without any complications cannot be guaranteed. There are various postoperative complications, such as scarring of the eardrum, hearing loss, infection, injury to the ear canal, etc., that can occur if the patient doesn’t take proper care after surgery. This is especially more important in young children as improper hearing can result in delayed speech development.
Surgeon fees
Generally, a surgeon’s consultation and operation fees depend on their expertise and experience. An experienced surgeon has more chances of successfully completing the treatment without any complications.
Cost of diagnostic tests
Proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the severity of the infection and the type of procedure required to ensure successful surgical outcomes. Moreover, if the patient needs a tympanostomy, the type of ear tube required for the surgery is also selected based on the results of the diagnostic tests. The costs of diagnostic tests usually required for myringotomy are:
- Blood test: Rs. 300 - Rs. 500
- Audiometry: Rs. 500 - Rs. 1000
- Tympanometry: Rs. 500 - Rs. 1000
- Imaging tests like CT scan: Rs. 1500 - Rs. 3500
Insurance coverage
Insurance coverage for myringotomy can be a little tricky as it’s usually required in children to improve their hearing and prevent issues with speech development. However, it is usually covered by most major insurance providers. The extent of the coverage and its specifics depend on the exact terms of your policy, so if you have any doubts, consult your insurance provider immediately.
