How much does it cost to repair an eardrum?

The cost of eardrum repair surgery varies depending on the patient’s condition. Clinically, there are two main types: 1. For tympanic membrane perforation due to traumatic injury, this is not accompanied by the manifestation of otitis media and there is no pus flowing from the ear. This is seen clinically by doing an electronic tympanogram and can be seen as a simple large perforation of the tympanic membrane. For this type of surgery, the cost of surgery is about 10,000 yuan, and the surgery is performed with tympanic membrane repair under general anesthesia, and postoperative antibiotics need to be applied for symptomatic treatment. 2. Some patients have chronic suppurative otitis media, which leads to tympanic membrane perforation. The first one is chronic simple otitis media, and the tympanic membrane is perforated, which is not accompanied by cholesteatoma, or damage to the auditory chain, etc. The clinical cost of the surgery is about 12,000 yuan, and there are also local differences. In addition, if the patient has a cholesteatoma, or a sarcoid within the tympanic chamber, or if there is damage to the auditory chain, the clinical cost of repairing the tympanic membrane, along with cholesteatoma removal surgery and reconstruction of the auditory chain, is definitely higher, about 15,000-20,000 RMB. All in all, the cost of tympanic membrane repair depends on the patient’s condition and the local fee schedule.
