Foreign Body Removal (from Ear Canal)

Knowing What to Expect

Preparing for surgery can feel overwhelming or scary if you don’t know what to expect. You may have some unanswered questions and worries that make you feel this way. Knowing what to expect will help you feel less nervous and more in control.

Occasionally in children, a foreign body will become lodged in the ear canal and cannot be safely removed in the office (typically because of anxiety on the part of the child).

In this circumstance, it can be quickly removed in the OR under a light anesthetic with less risk to the child’s ear canal and ear drum.
