An ear tube procedure is a common surgical procedure in children designed to address middle ear infections<\/a>. If your child is scheduled for this procedure, understanding what to anticipate will help alleviate many of your concerns and provide the right support for your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The placement of an ear tube<\/a> becomes necessary when the tube running from the middle ear to the back of the throat (the Eustachian tube) malfunctions and fills with fluid. During the surgery, a tympanostomy tube is placed behind the eardrum to rectify this. The procedure is typically recommended for persistent ear infections<\/a> in children aged one to three. The surgery itself is brief, lasting about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSurgery Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
