Types of Surgeries at Texas ENT Specialists in Houston

We offer a range of surgical procedures.

  • Acoustic Neuroma Surgery: This procedure removes a tumor from the inner ear or through a window created in the skull.
  • Cochlear Implants: A cochlear implant is a device that directly stimulates the inner ear with electrical signals, beneficial for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss.
  • Glomus Tumor Surgery: This surgery involves the removal of a benign glomus tumor located at the base of the skull, typically accessed through the middle ear or an incision in the skull.
  • Myringoplasty: Performed to repair small holes or tears in the eardrum, often resulting from repeated ear infections or injuries.
  • Ossicular Chain Reconstruction: This middle ear surgery improves conductive hearing by reconstructing the eardrum and the small bones connecting it to the inner ear.
  • Stapedectomy: This procedure replaces the stapes bone in the middle ear with a prosthetic to enhance hearing.
  • Tympanomastoidectomy: This surgery reconstructs the eardrum and repairs the mastoid bone to address chronic ear infections.
  • Tympanomastoidectomy with Ossicular Chain Reconstruction: This comprehensive procedure addresses both the eardrum and the middle ear bones while opening the mastoid bone to prevent future infections.
  • Tympanoplasty: Performed to repair small holes or tears in the eardrum, often resulting from repeated ear infections or injuries.
  • Tympanoplasty with Ossicular Chain Reconstruction: This dual approach repairs the eardrum and replaces or reconstructs the small bones in the middle ear, leading to improved sound perception.
