Has anyone had a myringotomy performed locally to alleviate "glue" ear? Your experience? Thank you....A myringotomy is the primary surgical procedure to drain ear fluid, involving a small, precise incision in the eardrum to remove trapped fluid, pus, or blood from the middle ear. Often, tiny ventilation tubes (grommets) are inserted to prevent future fluid buildup, allowing the ear to drain and ventilate for 6–12 months.
