Myringoplasty closes a hole (perforation) in the eardrum with a small graft of tissue to improve hearing and reduce ear infections.

Many small holes in the eardrum heal on their own. Myringoplasty is considered for a perforation that has not healed and causes repeated discharge, infections or hearing loss.

The ear should usually be dry and free of active infection ahead of surgery.

Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust states that eardrum repair closes the hole in about 80% of cases on average, with lower success for very large holes and for children under 13; it is normally a day case under general anaesthetic lasting about an hour.

The packing is taken out at the two-week clinic visit, about two weeks off work is advised and driving is avoided for 24 hours after the anaesthetic.

Flying home: cabin pressure changes can cause pain or trouble after ear, nose or sinus surgery, so the ENT surgeon checks you are fit to fly at the review appointment.

A Gurgaon quote for myringoplasty is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Size of perforation: small or large.
• Route: through the ear canal or behind the ear.
• Anaesthesia: normally general, about an hour.
• Follow-up: packing removal at two weeks.

Ask the Gurgaon hospital whether the quote includes the anaesthetist, the hearing or pathology tests and the post-operative clinic appointments.

ENT surgery in Gurgaon is carried out in multi-speciality hospitals with endoscopes and operating microscopes, and head and neck cases can involve reconstructive and cancer teams.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

Haryana adopted the national Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 in 2018, starting with larger private hospitals, so you can ask a Gurgaon hospital for its registration under the Act.
