What is Ear Tube surgery or Myringotomy ?
Ear tube surgery (Myringotomy) is a procedure that involves making a tiny incision in the eardrum and inserting a small plastic tube through the opening created. This tube stays in place across the eardrum allowing air into the middle ear and fluid and/or infection to come out. Ear tubes also called “PETs,” pressure equalizing tubes, allow air to get into the ear space behind the eardrum.
