Grommet insertion

What is glue ear?

Glue ear is a common condition where fluid collects in the middle ear behind the eardrum (see figure 1). It can cause deafness and repeated earache or infections, resulting in discharge from the ear.

Eardrum

What are the benefits of surgery?

A grommet (small plastic or metal tube) allows air to enter the middle ear, preventing fluid build-up.

Are there any alternatives to surgery?

The condition will almost always get better by itself.

Surgery is recommended if the glue ear continues for longer than three months and is causing problems with poor hearing or repeated ear infections.

What does the operation involve?

Grommet insertion is usually performed under a general anaesthetic but a local anaesthetic can be used. The operation usually takes about twenty minutes.

Your surgeon will make a small hole in the eardrum and remove the fluid by suction. They will then place a plastic or metal grommet in the hole.

What complications can happen?

1. General complications of any operation

Pain
Bleeding

2. Specific complications of this operation

Fluid leaking from the ear
Ear discharge
Small hole left in the ear drum after the grommet falls out
Repeated build-up of fluid in the middle ear

How soon will I recover?

You should be able to go home the same day.

Regular exercise should help you to return to normal activities as soon as possible. Before you start exercising, you should ask a member of the healthcare team or your GP for advice. Other than swimming, you should be able to return to normal activities after 24 hours.

The grommet will fall out of your ear by itself, after nine to twelve months for the plastic type and after about two years for the metal type.
