Tympanoplasty procedure
Most Revered ENT surgeons here 🙏🏻 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
