Procedure:
Examination of right ear under anesthesia with cauterization of granulation tissue

Dx: acute myringitis


The right ear was then examined with the operating microscope. The ear canal was cleaned of some adhesive, waxy, mucoid material. On the eardrum there was a layer of this material on the drum, which was elevated and removed. There was some granulation tissue anterior inferiorly, which was treated with a small piece of silver nitrate from a silver nitrate stick positioned with the alligator forceps and suction. The ear was irrigated several times with Ciprodex drops afterwards.

any thoughts?

thanks
Jamie
