Ear hematomas, typically caused by trauma or injury, result in painful swelling that requires professional intervention. At M&V San Jose Medical Center, we are experts in the evacuation of ear hematomas, ensuring that the blood is carefully drained to relieve pressure and prevent complications such as cauliflower ear. Our medical team is dedicated to providing precise and compassionate care, using advanced techniques to perform the evacuation with minimal discomfort. We understand the importance of timely treatment, and our center is fully equipped to manage this condition efficiently, allowing you to recover quickly and safely.
The procedure begins with a thorough examination of the affected ear. We then make a small incision to drain the accumulated blood, relieving pressure and reducing pain. After the evacuation, we apply a pressure dressing to prevent reaccumulation and provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing.
Ear hematoma evacuation typically takes about 30 minutes, including the incision, drainage, and application of a pressure dressing. At M&V San Jose Medical Center, we prioritize your comfort and recovery, ensuring that the procedure is completed efficiently and with excellent care to facilitate swift healing.
An ear hematoma occurs when blood collects between the ear cartilage and skin, often due to trauma, causing swelling and pain.
We treat ear hematomas by making a small incision to drain the accumulated blood, followed by applying a pressure dressing to prevent reoccurrence.
We aim to minimize discomfort during the procedure, using local anesthesia if necessary, to ensure a pain-free experience.
Without treatment, an ear hematoma can lead to permanent deformities like cauliflower ear and increased risk of infection.
Recovery typically begins immediately, with most patients experiencing significant relief shortly after the procedure. Full healing may take a few weeks.
We provide aftercare instructions, including keeping the area clean and avoiding re-injury, to ensure proper healing and prevent complications.
