About bilateral type II tympanoplasty

Bilateral type II tympanoplasty is an otology & neurotology procedure used to repair the eardrum and, when needed, reconstruct parts of the middle ear to improve a safe, dry ear and preserve or improve hearing. The operation may be discussed in cases of a persistent eardrum perforation, chronic middle-ear disease, or selected conductive hearing problems. Final suitability and operative details are decided by an ent / otolaryngology surgeon after examination and review of the relevant records. The Nigeria amount on this listing is a starting estimate rather than a guaranteed hospital bill.

Why it may be recommended

A persistent eardrum perforation, chronic middle-ear disease, or selected conductive hearing problems.

Purpose of the procedure

Repair the eardrum and, when needed, reconstruct parts of the middle ear to improve a safe, dry ear and preserve or improve hearing.

Before Surgery

Consultation

Yes. You should be assessed by a ENT / otolaryngology surgeon before a date is fixed for bilateral type II tympanoplasty. The consultation is the time to review your diagnosis, medicines, anaesthetic risk, expected benefit, alternatives, and personal recovery needs.

Assessment and tests

Before bilateral type II tympanoplasty, you may be asked to complete or provide the following: procedure-specific imaging or diagnostic reports plus routine pre-anaesthetic assessment; blood count, kidney/electrolyte tests, coagulation studies, ECG, or other investigations are added according to age, health, and expected surgical risk. The exact work-up depends on your age, medical history, diagnosis, and the hospital's anaesthesia protocol.

Fasting guidance

If sedation or anaesthesia is planned for bilateral type II tympanoplasty, follow the fasting time given by your hospital. Do not guess the cut-off time: instructions can differ for solid food, clear fluids, children, diabetes, and emergency procedures.

Medication guidance

Bring an up-to-date list of every prescription medicine, over-the-counter drug, vitamin, herbal product, and supplement you use. Before bilateral type II tympanoplasty, do not stop blood thinners, diabetes medicines, steroids, heart medicines, or other regular treatment on your own; ask for written instructions from the treating team.

Blood preparation

Routine blood reservation is not always needed for bilateral type II tympanoplasty. Your hospital may still request a blood group-and-screen if your medical history, anaemia, or the planned technique makes bleeding more likely.

Implants or devices

bilateral type II tympanoplasty may involve an implant, graft, prosthesis, stent, lens, mesh, fixation device, or other consumable depending on the exact technique. Ask for the planned device or material, whether it is included in the quoted price, and whether there are alternative options.

Preparation checklist

Ahead of bilateral type II tympanoplasty, make sure the hospital has the records it needs and that you understand the admission plan. Organise time away from work, transport, home support, and any equipment or dressing supplies you may need after discharge.

Recovery & Aftercare

Expected recovery

After bilateral type II tympanoplasty, you should receive a staged plan for pain control, activity, wound care, and return to work or exercise. Your own recovery may be faster or slower depending on the exact technique, your overall health, and whether complications occur.

Activity restrictions

After bilateral type II tympanoplasty, follow the activity limits written on your discharge plan. Begin with gentle walking and increase activity gradually. Heavy lifting, driving, strenuous exercise, and return to manual work should wait for procedure-specific clearance If the instructions are unclear, ask before increasing lifting, driving, exercise, sport, or work.

Wound or operation-site care

Care for the operation site after bilateral type II tympanoplasty exactly as shown at discharge. Keep the incision clean and dry as instructed, do not remove dressings or drains early, and avoid applying powders, herbs, creams, or antiseptics unless the surgical team specifically approves them Do not add creams, powders, herbs, antiseptics, or dressings unless your care team has approved them.

Follow-up

Before leaving hospital, make sure you know your first review date and how to contact the service if a problem develops sooner. Additional visits will depend on your recovery and any results still pending.

Risks & When to Seek Help

No operation is risk-free. For bilateral type II tympanoplasty, ask what complications are most relevant to you, how often they occur at that facility, and what would be done if bleeding, infection, clots, wound problems, or another complication develops.

Urgent warning signs
After bilateral type II tympanoplasty, seek urgent medical help if you develop any of the following: seek urgent medical help for uncontrolled bleeding, rapidly worsening pain or swelling, high fever, pus or spreading redness, fainting, new shortness of breath, chest pain, confusion, or a sudden decline in function.

Patient Instructions

Special instructions

For bilateral type II tympanoplasty: Find out whether someone should stay with you the first night and when activities such as flying, swimming, nose-blowing, singing, or strenuous exercise may resume.

Booking requirements

To request a booking for bilateral type II tympanoplasty, have your referral or clinic note, relevant scans or test reports, previous operation notes if applicable, medicine list, allergy history, and photo ID ready. Do not treat an online reservation as final until the hospital has reviewed your information and confirmed that the procedure, date, and price apply to you.

What the benchmark may include

The ₦310,000 shown for bilateral type II tympanoplasty in Nigeria is an indicative starting price for the core surgical service, not a guaranteed final bill. Before paying, ask for an itemised quotation showing the surgeon, anaesthesia, theatre, standard hospital stay, routine medicines/consumables, and any implant or device that is included.

Possible extra costs

For bilateral type II tympanoplasty, the final bill can rise if you need extra hospital or ICU days, blood products, premium implants/devices, additional imaging or pathology, treatment of complications, extra specialist reviews, rehabilitation, or medicines after discharge. Ask the hospital which of these are outside the quoted amount.

Other useful instructions

Before the day of bilateral type II tympanoplasty, make sure you know where and when to arrive, what you may eat or drink, which medicines to take, who will take you home, and who to contact after discharge if a problem develops.
