Ear surgery, also known as otologic surgery, is a medical procedure performed to treat various ear conditions. This can include repairing eardrums, removing tumors, or addressing issues related to hearing loss. The surgery aims to improve ear function and alleviate symptoms such as pain or infection. The procedure is typically done under anesthesia, and recovery may vary depending on the specific surgery performed. Patients may experience some discomfort and are often advised to avoid water exposure in the ears during the healing process. Follow-up appointments with an otolaryngologist are essential to monitor recovery and ensure optimal results.
