What is a Right Mastoidectomy Exploration Myringoplasty?

A Right Mastoidectomy Exploration Myringoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to treat chronic ear problems, such as recurrent infections, cholesteatoma (a skin growth in the middle ear), or persistent drainage from the ear. It involves exploring the mastoid bone behind the ear to remove any diseased tissue or growths, and then repairing the eardrum (myringoplasty), often using a graft or patch to support the repair. The goal of the procedure is to improve hearing, prevent further infections, and restore the functionality of the eardrum. It is typically performed under general anesthesia.
