Otologic Surgical Procedures
Otologic surgical procedures refer to a group of surgeries that are performed on the ear with the goal of treating various conditions affecting hearing, balance, and inner ear functions. These procedures can range from relatively simple ones such as myringotomy (incision in the eardrum to relieve pressure and drain fluid) to more complex ones like cochlear implantation (surgical implantation of an electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person with severe to profound hearing loss). Other examples of otologic surgical procedures include stapedectomy (removal or modification of the stapes bone in the middle ear to improve hearing), tympanoplasty (reconstruction of the eardrum), and mastoidectomy (removal of mastoid air cells to treat chronic ear infections).

Otoscopy
Otoscopy är en procedur där en otoskop, ett slags lupp med ett inbyggt ljus, används för att undersöka det yttre öronhinnan och trummembranet. Det används vanligen för att diagnosticera problem relaterade till örat, såsom infektioner, hörselnedsättning eller skador på örats strukturer.
Mastoidit
Inflammation i det bikakeliknande utskottet (processus mastoideus) på klippbenet bakom örat. Den är ofta en komplikation till öroninflammation (otitis media).

Operationer
In medicine, a surgical operation, or simply "operation," refers to a medical procedure in which a doctor manually corrects an injury, disease, or abnormality using invasive techniques, such as instruments, cameras, or machines that assist in the visualization and treatment of internal structures. This may involve cutting, scraping, or removing tissue, bones, or other bodily components, and often requires anesthesia to prevent pain and discomfort during the procedure. The specific type of operation is determined by the nature and location of the problem being addressed.
