Micro Ear Surgery is a procedure done using a surgical microscope. The ear structure is small, so the surgical microscope helps an ENT surgeon treat the ear disease.
Visibility within the ear is poor, and surgery is delicate. We use the latest operating microscope for ear surgeries at our institute. These quality instruments aid us in providing the highest level of precision to help our patient’s treatments. Contact Dr. Shalina Ray | Best ENT Specialist in Whitefield.

• Stapedotomy – surgery is done to improve hearing when there are fixed stapes bones. This is performed with the help of a microscope and LASER.

Advantages of microscopic ear surgery
There are still several significant advantages to microscopic surgery. It permits a significantly amplified operative view and makes a binocular view possible. Two-handed operations are feasible using a microscope, which is incredibly advantageous when attempting to clear blood from the surgical field. Nonetheless, the microscope limits the visibility of the more profound and concealed areas within the attic, epitympanum, sinus tympani, and facial recesses. The limited visibility afforded by the otomicroscope and the need to access the hidden recesses is why drilling of the bone and additional soft tissue dissection or resection is needed.
