This document addresses myringotomy and tympanostomy tube insertion, which are surgical procedures used to decompress and ventilate the middle ear when fluid builds up due to infection, trauma, or other conditions.

Tympanostomy tubes are small tubes that are surgically placed into your child's eardrum by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeon. The tubes may be made of plastic, metal, or Teflon®. The tubes are placed to help drain the fluid out of the middle ear to reduce the risk of ear infections.
Myringotomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating a small incision in the eardrum to relieve pressure or drain pus from the middle ear. In many cases, tympanostomy tubes will be placed to allow fluid to pass through the ear canal into the middle ear.
What is it? BTT is the most common surgical procedure an ENT surgeon will perform on a child. BTT is usually performed to treat recurrent otitis media (infections that take place behind the eardrum) and chronic otitis media (keeping fluid behind the eardrum).
In this example, CPT® code 40701 (plastic repair of cleft lip/nasal deformity; primary bilateral, one stage procedure) is the primary procedure and CPT code 69436 (tympanostomy [requiring insertion of ventilating tube], general anesthesia) is the secondary procedure. Both procedures are bilateral.
They advise that clinicians may offer tympanostomy tubes if patients have frequent infections: three incidences of acute otitis media in the past six months, or four in the last year with at least one incidence in the last six months.
Tympanostomy (Ear Tubes) Tympanoplasty is surgery to place ear tubes. Ear tubes are small, hollow cylinders inserted into your eardrum. They're often used in children or adults who have chronic middle ear infections or infections that have resisted treatment.
Bilateral tympanostomy tubes should be offered if the child has bilateral OME for three months or longer and documented hearing difficulties.
Tympanostomy is a companion procedure to myringotomy and involves the insertion of a small tube into the eardrum through a myringotomy incision in order to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time, and to prevent the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear.
A myringotomy is a procedure to create a hole in the ear drum to allow fluid that is trapped in the middle ear to drain out. The fluid may be blood, pus and/or water. In many cases, a small tube is inserted into the hole in the ear drum to help maintain drainage.
Tympanocentesis and myringotomy are two direct means of determining the presence of ME fluid. Both tympanocentesis and myringotomy are invasive procedures. Tympanocentesis is the aspiration of ME fluid. Myringotomy involves incising the TM to allow drainage.
Encounter for adjustment or removal of myringotomy device (stent) (tube) 1 Z45.82 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: Encntr for adjust or removal of myringotomy device (tube) 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Z45.82 became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z45.82 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z45.82 may differ.
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
Tympanostomy is a companion procedure to myringotomy, and involves the insertion of a small tube into the eardrum through a myringotomy incision in order to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time, and to prevent the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear.
They concluded, Tympanostomy tubes improve hearing at 1 to 3 months compared with watchful waiting, with no evidence of benefit by 12 to 24 months. Children with recurrent acute otitis media may have fewer episodes after tympanostomy tube placement, but the evidence base is severely limited.
The use of combined myringotomy and tympanostomy tube insertion is considered medically necessary for individuals who meet any of the following criteria: Children or adults with recurrent acute otitis media (AOM) (more than 3 episodes in 6 months or more than 4 episodes in 12 months) with or without otitis media with effusion (OME) ...
When it is necessary to keep the middle ear ventilated for a very long period, a "T"-shaped tube may be used, as these "T-tubes" can stay in place for 2-4 years. The use of myringotomy and tympanostomy tube insertion has become a widely used and accepted method of treating various middle ear conditions in children and adults.
Acute otitis media (AOM): Middle ear infection characterized by a history of acute onset of signs and symptoms, the presence of middle-ear effusion, and signs and symptoms of middle-ear inflammation. Autophony: A condition characterized by an unusually loud hearing of a person's own voice and/or breathing.
Cleft palate, with or without associated syndrome; or. Children or adults with structural damage to the tympanic membrane (TM) or middle ear, such as cholesteatoma, chronic retraction of tympanic membrane or pars flaccida; or. Children or adults with barotitis (barotrauma); or.
