Operation Description: A 9-month-old male was diagnosed with chronic ear infections, which keep occurring and resulted with otitis media. The risks of the operation, such as infection, hearing loss, and bleeding, were discussed. The parents understood all risks and wanted to proceed with the operation. Consent was obtained.
The patient was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion in the operating room. General anesthesia was then administered to the patient. An incision to the tympanic membrane was completed to relieve pressure and fluid from the middle ear. A small tube was then inserted through the tympanic membrane to the middle ear to assist with pressure. The patient was in good stable condition and brought to the recovery room.
