Does my father's age, 74 years, makes tympanoplasty a challenging/sensitive procedure in any which way?
What adverse can happen if tympanoplasty gets failed due to any reason? Can sneezing with closed nose/mouth and exerting internal pressure to ears just once after tympanoplasty has an instant impact on tympanoplasty? Or tympanoplasty can sustain a few sneezes with internal pressure to ears?
Warmest Regards 🙏🏻

Hello, if the procedure is not a success due to post operative complications then your father may again have ear discharge in the future with hearing problems.
And it is strictly advised to avoid sneezing with closed nose , mouth as it may cause surgery failure

Hello gold to answer your doubt
Healing takes atleast 3 weeks time
And need to know his comorbidities status , if diabetic healing period varies
Precautions post surgery after tympanoplasty as as follows
Avoid water entry to the ears we recommend avoid head bath for 3 weeks time
Avoid any sort of upper respiratory infections which shows symptoms like sneezing running nose, nose block, cough as it can cause congestion to the Eustachian tube (connection between nose and ears) leading to negative pressure build up leading to poor healing or infection spread leading to poor graft ( new ear drum) update
Avoid strenuous exercises
Avoid weight lifting
Avoid constipation
Keep ear dressing neat and sterile
By following all these tips post procedure results will be so much better
