pediatric surgery
Tympanostomy for children is a small surgical procedure in which a tiny ventilation tube is inserted into the eardrum. The tube keeps the middle ear ventilated and helps drain fluid that has collected because of otitis media or related conditions. In children, the procedure is performed under mask anesthesia or general anesthesia, often together with adenoidectomy or tonsillotomy.
The procedure is recommended if the child has:
Follow the anesthesiologist’s instructions about food and drink before surgery.
On the morning of surgery, the child should not eat or drink, except for a small sip of water approved for essential medication.
Tell your doctor about the child’s allergies, medication, and chronic illnesses.
Parents should stay calm, because a reassuring presence helps the child feel safe.
