What is Grommet Removal?

Grommets are inserted in the eardrum to help prevent glue ear. Most grommets dissolve or are expelled naturally from the ear 6 to 18 months after insertion. Some extruded grommets stay in the ear canal or close to the eardrum. Such grommets can be removed using a specially designed small instrument.

Grommet Removal is a short, day surgery procedure.
