Indications
Transtimapanal injection of drugs is an effective way to combat symptoms indicating middle ear pathology. These include:
- Acute serous otitis
- Suppurative otitis media
- Meniere's disease
- Sensorineural hearing loss in the acute stage
Indications for eliminating clinical symptoms are:
- Loss of hearing acuity (unilateral, bilateral)
- Ear congestion
- Ear pain of varying intensity
- Periods of severe dizziness
- Noise in the ears when changing body position
- Isolation of exudate from the auditory canal
Taking into account the clinical manifestations, the doctor selects the necessary medicine for transtympanic delivery: for purulent-inflammatory forms of otitis - antibiotics, in the case of sensorineural hearing loss - corticosteroids.
The manipulation is also performed to supply a contrast solution into the tympanic cavity for the purpose of subsequent radiographic diagnostics.

Preparation
There are no specific preparations for the procedure. The manipulation is performed on an outpatient basis by an otolaryngologist. In this case, the patient is positioned lying on his side, providing access to the sore ear.

About the service
If it is impossible to deliver drugs through the Eustachian tube, transtympanic administration is used by injecting the eardrum. The method is widely used in the treatment of middle ear diseases and allows the drug to be quickly transplanted directly into the pathological focus.
Transtympanic injection of drugs (MD) has considerable advantages. Thanks to the direct introduction of medicinal solutions into the tympanic cavity, the expected therapeutic effect is quickly achieved:
Pronounced effectiveness is also ensured by the absence of losses due to transplantation of the administered drug compared to oral and other types of administration. This allows the use of small doses of drugs during conservative therapy.
The method is characterized by low trauma using local anesthesia. The risk of complications is minimal.
