Ear bandage is kept 2-7 days. Packing inside the ear 7-15 days. Usually self - absorbable sponge like material ( gel foam) is kept inside the ear canal over the graft, which usually dissolves within a months time. Incision, (depends on the operating surgeon along with few other patient factors), can be behind the ear or above the ear canal. Cost depends on the surgeon, hospital , type of room chosen and patient factors like type of tympanoplasty and any additional procedure required (ossiculoplasty / mastoid exploration). Ear- examination, Audiometry and sometimes CT scan help in planning the surgery for individual patient.
