- This procedure (which can be performed either endoscopically or externally) improves that situation by opening the lacrimal sac into the nasal cavity, allowing for drainage of tears into the nasal cavity. (lyfboat.com)
Tympanic membrane3

- Eardrum repair refers to one or more surgical procedures that are done to correct a tear or other damage to the eardrum (tympanic membrane). (medlineplus.gov)
- Tympanoplasty is a surgical technique to repair a defect in the tympanic membrane with the placement of a graft, either medial or lateral to the tympanic membrane annulus. (medscape.com)

Canal3
- In the canal wall-down (open) procedure, the posterior canal wall is removed. (medscape.com)
- In the canal wall-up (closed) procedure, the canal wall is preserved, and the normal appearance is maintained. (medscape.com)
- As shown in ▶ Fig. 48.3 , a 5 cm x 4 cm graft is sufficient for a canal wall-down procedure. (entokey.com)
Reconstruction1
- Early-stage carcinoma of the EAC can be generally cured by surgical treatment, and reconstruction of the EAC with a tympanoplasty can help to retain hearing, thus improving the patients' quality of life. (hindawi.com)
Outpatient2
- The procedure may be done as an outpatient, or may require a stay in the hospital, overnight or for several days, depending on the device used and the anatomy of the inner ear. (drlaventsurgeon.com)
- Tympanoplasty is a safe and effective outpatient procedure used to both eradicate disease from the middle ear and restore hearing and middle ear function. (medscape.com)
