When Ear Tubes Make Sense
Myringotomy is a minimally invasive ear surgery done when fluid persists behind the eardrum, or problems like glue ear. In this ear surgery, a small opening is made in the eardrum to help drain the fluid, and a grommet or ear ventilation tube is placed to maintain middle ear ventilation. Myringotomy or ear tube surgery in Delhi helps restore middle ear ventilation, reduce fluid buildup, and reduce chances of ear infection.

On this page, we explain why you should choose ENT specialist Dr. Purodha Prasad for undergoing myringotomy ear tube surgery in Delhi.
We will explain various aspects of this surgery, including cost, types, and common FAQs by patients in Delhi.
So, let us get started with a quick introduction on what exactly happens in myringotomy ear tube surgery.
What Happens in Myringotomy Surgery? Dr. Purodha Prasad Explains
Ear tube surgery or myringotomy with grommet or ventilation tube insertion in Delhi is a procedure used to create a small opening in the eardrum. This opening is used to place a tiny tube to allow air to enter the middle ear and fluid to drain.
During the ear tube surgery, your ENT surgeon will first examine the ear using Otoendoscopy, hearing test, and impedance testing to check the eardrum and middle ear function. An appropriate anesthesia is given to the patient as per the age and surgical requirements. The ear surgeon will start by making a carefully planned myringotomy incision in the eardrum in an appropriate quadrant.
The surgeon will then gently remove or drain any middle-ear fluid. The ear ventilation tube or grommet is then positioned properly in the opening to maintain ventilation. After the surgery, follow-up visits with the ENT specialist are recommended to assess tube position, ear healing, and any drainage or infection.
In South Delhi, at Dr. Purodha Prasad’s Vanya Clinic – Aesthetics & ENT, we recommend myringotomy and ear tube placement only when it is medically required. Dr. Purodha Prasad clearly explains in detail the procedure and any non-surgical alternatives if available.

Benefits of Myringotomy Surgery in Delhi
💧 Drains Fluid Behind the Eardrum
Myringotomy creates a controlled opening in the tympanic membrane, allowing accumulated middle-ear fluid to drain.
This can be particularly useful in persistent otitis media with effusion (glue ear).
🌬️ Improves Middle-Ear Ventilation
A grommet or ventilation tube provides an alternative pathway for aeration of the middle ear when the Eustachian tube is not functioning adequately.
👂 May Improve Hearing Affected by Fluid
Middle-ear fluid can reduce movement of the tympanic membrane and ossicles, producing conductive hearing loss or muffled hearing.
Draining the fluid can improve hearing when the fluid is the underlying cause.
🛡️ May Reduce Recurrent Middle-Ear Problems in Selected Patients
Ventilation tubes can help reduce the accumulation of fluid and, in appropriately selected patients, may reduce episodes of recurrent acute otitis media.
👶 Particularly Useful for Selected Children with Glue Ear
Persistent middle-ear effusion in children can affect hearing and, consequently, communication and learning.
Myringotomy with tubes may be considered when persistent fluid and hearing problems meet appropriate clinical criteria.

Options of Myringotomy Surgery in Delhi by Dr. Purodha Prasad
Myringotomy ear surgery can be performed in different ways depending on the ear condition, location of middle-ear fluid, and age of the patient.
This includes anterior-inferior myringotomy, posterior-inferior myringotomy, radial myringotomy, endoscopic myringotomy, bilateral myringotomy, therapeutic myringotomy, and myringotomy with grommet or ventilation tube insertion.
Below are various types of myringotomy provided by Dr. Purodha Prasad in Delhi.
👂 Anterior-Inferior Myringotomy
In Anterior-inferior myringotomy in Delhi, the surgeon makes a small opening in the anteroinferior quadrant of the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to access the middle ear, drain fluid and, when indicated, facilitate insertion of a ventilation tube.
This location is commonly used because it provides access to the middle ear while avoiding important structures in the posterosuperior quadrant. It may be considered for otitis media with effusion (glue ear), persistent middle-ear fluid, selected recurrent ear infections and ventilation problems.
Dr. Purodha Prasad performs endoscopic or microscopic examination and determines the incision site according to the patient’s anatomy & fluid status.
👂 Posterior-Inferior Myringotomy in Delhi
Posterior-inferior myringotomy involves creating a small incision in the posteroinferior portion of the eardrum to allow drainage of middle-ear fluid or infected material.
In some cases, this area can provide dependent drainage, particularly when there is significant middle-ear fluid or acute infection. This type of Myringotomy is done when middle-ear fluid or infection persists & decompression are clinically required.
Dr. Purodha Prasad evaluates the tympanic membrane, middle-ear findings and surrounding anatomy carefully before selecting the incision location.
🎯 Radial Myringotomy in Delhi
In radial myringotomy, an incision is made in a radial direction through the tympanic membrane rather than as a circumferential cut.
It can provide an appropriately sized opening for fluid drainage and ventilation tube/grommet placement, and radial incisions are commonly used for tympanostomy tube insertion.
This technique of ear tube surgery may be considered when persistent middle-ear effusion, glue ear or recurrent middle-ear problems require drainage and ventilation.
🔍 Endoscopic Myringotomy in Delhi
Endoscopic myringotomy in Delhi uses a small ear endoscope to provide a magnified view of the ear canal and tympanic membrane while performing the myringotomy. It can be particularly useful when enhanced visualisation of the eardrum and middle-ear access is desirable.
This helps the surgeon to assess the membrane, make the incision under direct endoscopic vision, evacuate middle-ear fluid and place a ventilation tube when indicated.
Dr. Purodha Prasad provides endoscopic myringotomy in Delhi with emphasis on precise incision placement, adequate drainage and appropriate tube positioning.
🔗 Myringotomy with Grommet Insertion
In Myringotomy with grommet insertion in Delhi, the surgeon performs a small eardrum incision with placement of a tiny grommet or tympanostomy tube.
The incision allows existing middle-ear fluid to drain, while the grommet helps maintain ventilation between the middle ear and the external environment after the initial opening heals.
This is done for patients with persistent otitis media with effusion/glue ear, hearing impairment associated with middle-ear fluid, recurrent acute otitis media or Eustachian tube ventilation problems.
🌬️ Myringotomy with Ventilation Tube Placement in Delhi
Myringotomy with ventilation tube placement, also called ear tube surgery or tympanostomy tube placement, involves creating a controlled opening in the eardrum and inserting a small ventilation tube to help maintain middle-ear aeration.
In this, tube is used to provide ventilation for a longer period while the underlying Eustachian tube or middle-ear problem is addressed.
It may be considered for persistent middle-ear effusion, recurrent acute ear infections, glue ear and selected Eustachian tube dysfunction, depending on the patient’s clinical findings.
In addition to above types of Myringotomy, Dr. Purodha Prasad provides Bilateral myringotomy in Delhi. It is done on both eardrums during the same treatment session when both ears have a clinical indication for the procedure.
It may be considered in children or adults with bilateral middle-ear effusion, glue ear, hearing difficulties related to persistent fluid, or selected recurrent middle-ear infections where intervention is appropriate.
Dr. Purodha Prasad assess both ear’s eardrum, middle-ear status before deciding whether both ears require ear tube surgery.

FAQs on Myringotomy Ear Tube Surgery in Delhi – Answered by Dr. Purodha Prasad
What is the difference between myringotomy and tympanostomy?
Myringotomy is the procedure of making a small opening in the eardrum to drain middle-ear fluid. Tympanostomy generally refers to creating the opening and placing a small ventilation tube or grommet to keep the middle ear ventilated for a longer period. The terms are often used together when discussing ear tube surgery.
How long do ear tubes stay in the ear?
The duration depends on the type of tube used and the patient’s condition. Many commonly used grommets remain in place for several months to around a year or longer before naturally coming out as the eardrum heals and pushes the tube outward. Dr. Purodha Prasad monitors the tube during follow-up and advises further management if it does not come out as expected.
Why does my ear feel clogged after myringotomy?
A feeling of fullness or blockage can occur temporarily after the procedure because of residual middle-ear fluid, mild swelling, changes in middle-ear pressure or postoperative secretions. Hearing may also take some time to normalise. Persistent or worsening blockage should be assessed by an ENT specialist.
Can you fly after myringotomy?
Many patients can fly after recovering from myringotomy, and a functioning ventilation tube can help equalise pressure between the middle ear and outside environment. However, the appropriate timing depends on the reason for surgery, recovery and individual clinical condition. Dr. Purodha Prasad can advise when air travel is appropriate for a particular patient.
Can I swim after getting ear tubes?
Swimming may be possible for many patients with ear tubes, but precautions can vary depending on the type of tube, history of ear infections, water exposure and the surgeon’s advice. Deep diving and contaminated water may require additional precautions. Follow the specific swimming and water-exposure advice provided after surgery.
Is ear drainage normal after tube placement?
A small amount of drainage can occur after ear tube placement, particularly during the early postoperative period or if an infection develops. Persistent, foul-smelling, bloody or significant yellow/green discharge, especially with pain or fever, should be evaluated by an ENT specialist rather than treated with unprescribed ear drops.
Can myringotomy cause hearing loss?
Myringotomy is performed to address problems such as middle-ear fluid that can itself cause conductive hearing loss. Hearing may improve when fluid is drained and middle-ear ventilation is restored. Temporary changes in hearing can occur after surgery, but persistent hearing loss requires evaluation to determine whether another middle-ear or inner-ear problem is present.
What happens when an ear tube falls out?
Most ear tubes are designed to come out naturally as the eardrum heals. Once the tube extrudes, the small opening in the eardrum commonly closes on its own. Follow-up is important to check whether the eardrum has healed properly and whether middle-ear fluid or infections have returned.
