Mura Operation

Moore operation is a surgical operation to restore the patency of the auditory tube, proposed by the French otorhinolaryngologist E.Zh. Moore at the beginning of the 20th century.

The operation involves cutting the eardrum and removing scar tissue that narrows the ear canal. The goal is to restore normal air flow from the nasopharynx into the tympanic cavity and improve hearing.

The indication for surgery is chronic tubo-otitis - inflammation of the auditory tube. The operation is performed under local anesthesia. The incision of the eardrum can be linear or cruciform.

Moore's operation was an important advance in the treatment of middle ear diseases in the early 20th century and is still used in otorhinolaryngology.
