Ear Tube Placement in Dubai (Otology)

Overview

Ear Tube Placement, commonly performed at MMC, is a procedure aimed at treating recurring ear infections and fluid buildup in the middle ear. This intervention is particularly beneficial for individuals, including children, who experience frequent ear infections or hearing issues due to fluid retention. It's a key procedure in maintaining ear health and preventing long-term complications in our diverse patient population in Dubai.

Medical Uses

The main objective of Ear Tube Placement is to allow air to enter the middle ear and fluid to drain out, thus reducing the risk of infection and improving hearing. This procedure is especially useful for patients suffering from chronic otitis media with effusion, a condition common in children but also affecting adults. By addressing these issues, Ear Tube Placement plays a crucial role in preserving hearing and preventing further ear health complications.

Types & Methods

At MMC, Ear Tube Placement involves:

• Myringotomy: Making a small incision in the eardrum to drain fluid.
• Tube Insertion: Placing a tiny tube in the eardrum incision to keep it open and allow continuous drainage and ventilation.
• Customization: Selecting tubes based on the patient's specific condition and needs.

Pre- & Post-Procedure

Prior to Ear Tube Placement, our specialists at MMC thoroughly assess the patient's ear health and explain the procedure, its benefits, and potential risks. Following the surgery, patients receive detailed aftercare instructions and are monitored for healing and improvement in ear function. Our post-procedure care includes follow-up visits and hearing assessments to ensure successful outcomes.
