What is myringotomy?
A myringotomy surgery is the drainage of the middle ear fluids. During the procedure, a small incision/hole is cut into the eardrum to drain any blood, fluids, or pus trapped in the eardrum. Often, a small tube is inserted in the eardrum for a little while to help maintain drainage in the long term.
There are different ways of performing ear canal drainage, such as:
- Myringotomy: During this procedure, the surgeon creates an incision to drain the discharge and then closes the incision and packs the ear canal with dressing and bandages to let the patient heal. It is usually performed when one-time drainage is sufficient to treat the patient, for e.g. blood collection in the middle/inner ear canal after a trauma, etc.
- Myringotomy with tympanostomy: A tympanostomy is often combined with a myringotomy for severe chronic inner/middle ear infections where repetitive drainage is required. There are different types of tympanostomy tubes such as T-tubes, grommet tubes, etc., based on their length, flexibility, etc. The type of tube to be inserted is selected by the ENT specialist based on the patient’s symptoms, age, and requirements.
Myringotomy, in both cases, is performed as a 15-20 minutes outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. The myringotomy incision is usually very small and doesn’t even need sutures. It can be performed using a laser, and most patients have a noticeable improvement in their pain and hearing issues within 1-2 days of the surgery.

Which factors affect the cost of myringotomy in India?
The cost of myringotomy in India depends on a variety of factors such as:
- Choice of treatment city and hospital
Myringotomy costs in India can be a little different depending on the city you are getting your treatment in. Similarly, the cost of hospitalization also depends on your treatment city. In metro cities like Kolkata and Mumbai, the cost of medical treatment is usually higher than in non-metro cities.
- Post-surgical care and complications
Although safe, the success of myringotomy surgery without any complications cannot be guaranteed. It can be associated with postoperative complications such as scarring of the eardrum, hearing loss, infection, injury to the ear canal, etc. Proper postoperative care is required to avoid such complications, especially in children, as it may result in delayed speech development.
- Surgeon fees
The surgeon’s consultation and operative 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
To ensure the procedure is successful, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the severity of the infection and the type of procedure required. The type of tympanostomy tubes 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
Myringotomy (with tympanostomy) is usually only performed for severe cases of otitis, therefore, it is usually covered by most major health insurance policies. However, the extent of the coverage depends on the terms of the policy.
