Myringotomy involves making an incision (cut) in your eardrum to drain excess fluid from your middle ear. Sometimes, myringotomy is performed as a standalone treatment. Often, however, it's combined with tympanostomy, which is the actual placement of ear tubes into your eardrum.
Bilateral myringotomy (BY-lat-er-ull my-ring-GOT-a-mee) and tubes is a surgery in which a small opening is made in each eardrum and a small tube is placed in the opening on each side.
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.
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.
Insertion of tubes should be reported under code 69433 or 69436, as appropriate. Removal of ventilation, myringotomy, or tympanostomy tubes (i.e., Shea or Collar button) may be paid when performed under general anesthesia (69424).
WHAT IS MYRINGOPLASTY OR TYMPANOPLASTY? Myringoplasty is an operation that is performed to close the hole (perforation) in the eardrum. A tympanoplasty helps to address any damage or scarring around the bones for hearing. Sometimes both these procedures are performed at the same time.
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.

Myringotomy and the placement of a tympanostomy tube is a treatment modality for clearing the fluid from the middle ear. This fluid accumulation mostly happens due to middle ear infections.These procedures help to improve effusion-associated hearing loss.. This approach has been successfully used in children to prevent speech delay due to impaired hearing.

Statement 3: Clinicians should offer bilateral tympanostomy tube insertion to children with bilateral OME for 3 months or longer (chronic OME) 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.
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.
Children or adults with persistent AOM despite at least 2 different courses of recommended empiric antibiotic therapy. The use of myringotomy as a stand-alone procedure is considered medically necessary for individuals who meet one or more of the following criteria: Neonates with otitis media who are either:
