Abstract

Timpanoplasty is a surgical intervention to repair a perforation of the eardrum membrane that may occur in children as a complication of a chronic otitis media. As long as this surgery is made using the microscope, the surgeon requires an unblocked surgery field and a motionless patient. General endotracheal anesthesia offers better conditions in children. Among the most frequent complications we find postsurgery nausea and vomiting due surgery manipulation. In this review we talk about the anesthetic considerations that should be taken into account to make that surgery successfully.
