A novel technique simplifies ear ventilation tube insertion using local anesthetic for tympanocentesis and grommet placement. This method streamlines management for suitable patients in healthcare settings.

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Surgical Techniques

Background:

Middle ear infections and ventilation tube insertion are common procedures.
Current methods for grommet insertion can be complex and require specific settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the feasibility of using local anesthetic for this procedure.

Main Methods:

A novel approach combining tympanocentesis and grommet insertion under local anesthetic was developed.
The technique was applied in a series of suitable patients.

Main Results:

The described technique allows for efficient tympanocentesis and ventilation tube insertion.
The procedure was successfully performed using local anesthetic, simplifying management.
