Janssen Operation

The Jansen operation is a surgical procedure developed by German otolaryngologist Arthur Jansen in 1910. It is intended for the treatment of diseases of the middle ear and mastoid process. The purpose of the operation is to remove pus and restore ear function.

The Jansen procedure involves creating a small hole in the eardrum and removing pus from the middle ear. The surgeon then fills the ear cavity with a special solution that promotes wound healing.

Jansen's operation is one of the most common operations in otolaryngology. It is highly effective and allows you to quickly restore hearing and ear function. However, like any other surgery, it may have some risks and complications.

Jansen surgery, or Jansen method, is a surgical technique developed by German otorhinolaryngologist Otto Jansen in the early 20th century to treat ear diseases. The method is based on the principle of direct impact on the inner part of the middle ear through the external auditory canal in order to remove fluid accumulated in the ear.

The procedure consists of the patient lying on his back and the doctor inserting a thin metal instrument - a stiletto, a rod, a pin - into the ear. He pierces the eardrum to gain access to the inner ear. Then the doctor uses the same stylet or a special syringe to remove excess fluid from the ear. After removing the fluid, the doctor closes the entrance to the eardrum with a special membrane. It is believed that the Jansen technique can be effective in the treatment of acute otitis media, otitis media, acoustic neuritis, acoustic neuroma (benign tumor of the auditory nerve) and other diseases of the ear and nervous system, as well as a number of other congenital abnormalities of the children's ear. However, it should be noted that this operation is not a panacea for any ear disease, especially in cases where serious impairment or irreversible damage to the hearing organ is involved. Before carrying out the procedure, you must consult
