Temporal bone surgery

Temporal bone surgery involves operating on the bone located at the side of the skull, near the ear. This complex procedure typically addresses issues like infections, tumors, or chronic ear problems. Surgeons carefully access the temporal bone to repair or remove damaged tissue, improve hearing, or treat inner ear conditions. Because of its proximity to vital structures like nerves and blood vessels, the surgery requires precise technique and knowledge of skull anatomy. The goal is to resolve medical issues while minimizing risks, often resulting in improved ear function and quality of life for the patient.
