First endoscopic eardrum repair surgery successfully performed in Iran's Kermanshah province
An endoscopic eardrum repair surgery was successfully performed for the first time in Iran’s western province of Kermanshah at Imam Reza Hospital Complex, marking a significant step forward in the adoption of modern minimally invasive ear surgery techniques.
The procedure was carried out by Dr. Sohbat Rezaei, an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist, according to a report by IRNA news agency.
Health officials said the achievement paves the way for broader use of advanced surgical methods in the treatment of ear disorders across the province.
A perforated eardrum, medically known as a tympanic membrane perforation, is a common condition that can result from chronic infections, trauma, sudden pressure changes, or other factors.
If left untreated, it may lead to hearing loss, recurrent ear infections, and a reduced quality of life.
Endoscopic ear surgery is considered a modern treatment approach that utilizes specialized endoscopic equipment, allowing surgeons to access and repair damaged structures with greater precision and without the need for extensive surgical incisions.

The technique provides a clearer view of the ear’s internal anatomy while minimizing tissue disruption.
According to medical experts, the procedure offers several advantages, including reduced postoperative pain, a shorter recovery period, fewer surgical complications, and improved treatment outcomes.
The successful operation at Imam Reza Hospital Complex highlights the growing capabilities of Kermanshah’s healthcare system and reflects ongoing efforts to equip medical centers with advanced technologies and specialized expertise, the report noted.
Provincial health authorities have identified the expansion of advanced medical services and the introduction of innovative treatment methods as key priorities.
They believe such developments will improve patient access to high-quality healthcare and reduce the need for patients to travel to other provinces for specialized treatment.
