Hi ,

This is the 4 th day after surgery and i still feel weak and numb in my body.

CONCERN : As per my ENT my ear canel was very small and it took 3 hrs for the surgery to get done.

In the process doctor when trying to implant the stap (which is made of tatinium and plastic ) fell down and they could not take it out and left it inside. He used another prosthatic and completed the surgery. he mentioned the object is harmless and is behind my eardrum. IS THIS REALLY OK? if i need that to be removed ear has to be cut from back is what was said.

I Dont feel myself yet . very low energy and feels likes liquid is filled inside which feels totally heavy and muted .

thank you

    Hello Laxmi,

    I had also this surgery in January 2019 in Mumbai and my ear is working properly. Your doctor may have not perform surgery well. Pls visit a other Ent surgeon.
