MYRINGOPLASTY-COMPLICATIONS

Ther are a few complications of myringoplasty also. If done under general anaesthesia, the complications due to anaesthesia can occur. Then there can be injury to a small nerve which supplies anterior 2/3 of tongue and carries taste sensation to brain. This nerve is chorda tympani and injury to this causes altered taste sensation. Then post operative vertigo can be there which lasts for short time. Infection can occur and this can also lead to graft rejection. Then a small residual perforation can remain after surgery.
