Can minimally invasive otoendoscopic surgery "tympanoplasty hearing reconstruction"

According to the chief physician of Guiyang Otolaryngology Hospital, the sound transmission structure of the middle ear plays a very important role in concentration. The sound transmission structure of middle ear includes tympanic membrane and ossicular chain composed of malleus, incus and stapes. The tympanic membrane can amplify the sound by 17 times, and the ossicular chain as a lever can amplify the sound by 1.3 times. If both functions are normal, it can be enlarged by 22 times.

However, otitis media, cholesteatoma, otosclerosis or some congenital diseases lead to perforation of tympanic membrane, interruption and fixation of ossicular chain, which will destroy the sound transmission mechanism of middle ear and lead to hearing loss. Tympanoplasty and hearing reconstruction are to rebuild the damaged sound transmission structure mentioned above.

The chief physician of Guiyang Otolaryngology Hospital said that traditional middle ear surgery, such as mastoidectomy, mainly removes cholesteatoma, granulation and other lesions to ensure the life safety of patients. The quality of life of patients after surgery has not been greatly improved, and may even decline. Tympanic plastic hearing reconstruction surgery not only removes the lesions, but also reconstructs the middle ear function, which not only eliminates the life threat, but also significantly improves the quality of life.

It's like we found a man living in a dangerous house. In the past, we directly demolished his dangerous house, no matter how to live after demolition; But now, we not only demolished the dangerous house, but also rebuilt a new house for him to live in. This is the essence of "tympanoplasty hearing reconstruction" surgery.

Minimally invasive surgery has the advantages of quick recovery, less pain and less side effects. At present, otoendoscopic surgery has been widely used in many large third-class hospitals, which has brought great benefits to patients. However, otoendoscopic surgery can not completely replace microscope surgery, and which surgical method to adopt depends on the specific situation of patients and the personal habits of doctors.

In the past, otitis media surgery (including "tympanoplasty hearing reconstruction" surgery) was mostly performed under a microscope. It is necessary to make an incision behind the patient's ear and "create" an artificial channel to reach the middle ear for surgery. Shave your head before the operation and bandage it after the operation. After the operation, there will be scars, numbness around your ears and other sequelae. Ear endoscopic surgery for otitis media can avoid these "side effects" well.

The chief physician of Guiyang Otolaryngology Hospital said that otoendoscopic surgery enters middle ear surgery through the natural passage of human external auditory canal, without additional scraping, not to mention complications such as scar and numbness around the ear after operation. Moreover, the trauma is small, the recovery is fast, the hospitalization time is short, and the patient can return to normal life quickly after surgery, so the patient's acceptance will be higher.

At the same time, otoendoscopic surgery was performed under the direct vision of HDTV screen. Surgical field exposure is more intuitive than microscope, and there is no dead angle. For some skilled otoendoscopists, the operation time may be shorter.

For some otitis media that is not very serious, even both ears can be operated at the same time, and they can be discharged after observing 1~2 days, which can also effectively reduce medical expenses.
