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.
Although various definitions are referenced in the literature, a tympanostomy tube that does not spontaneously extrude after approximately 2 years can be considered retained.
A myringotomy (69420, 69421, or S2225) may be performed with or without the insertion of tympanostomy tubes. Insertion of tubes should be reported under code 69433 or 69436, as appropriate.
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.
Ear tubes are also called tympanostomy tubes, ventilation tubes, myringotomy tubes or pressure equalization tubes. Ear tubes are often recommended for children who have persistent fluid buildup behind the eardrum, especially if the condition causes hearing loss or affects speech development.
Ear tubes, also known as myringotomy tubes, are small tubes that are surgically placed into your child's eardrum by an ear, nose and throat 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 in order to reduce the risk of ear infections.
They're also used to treat buildup of fluid (effusion) in the middle ear that's lasted longer than three months. In adults, ear tubes are most commonly used to treat barotrauma — a painful condition caused by air pressure changes.
Children often feel well even when there is a problem with the tube. Once the tubes fall out, your child should return for a final re-check after 6-12 months so that your doctor can check the ears and be sure that fluid has not built up again. Your child may still get an ear infection (otitis media) with ear tubes.
The operation to insert ear tubes in both ears is called “bilateral myringotomy with tubes” (BMT). A surgeon inserts the tubes to ventilate (let air into) the area behind the eardrum and to keep the pressure equalized to atmospheric pressure in the middle ear.
