EFFECT OF MICROTIA ON LIFE

A child affected with Microtia often faces harassment and bullying, particularly at school. Many children often suffer from decreased hearing ability due to narrowed or missing ear canal. When an individual can hear only from one ear, the brain often faces difficulty in filtering out the background noise and cannot detect the source and direction of the noise. Diminished hearing in microtia patients ,in school and social settings, often leads to speech impairment. Dr. Parag Telang, an expert Microtia surgeon in India, practicing at The Microtia Trust, offers treatments for both cosmetic and hearing difficulties associated with Microtia. He performs ear reconstruction surgery using cartilage that offers several benefits to children and adults suffering from Microtia.

MICROTIA TREATMENT SURGERY WITH CARTILAGE

The best material for reconstructing a new ear is the soft portion of the rib called cartilage. The cartilage is obtained from the child’s own rib cartilage and is used to create a new outer ear. The use of a child's own tissue reduces the risk of danger of rejection, and there is also very little chance of infection. Then skin graft is placed over the implant that results in a sturdy, natural-looking ear.

NOTE

The artificial materials currently available, such as porous polyethylene and silicone, suffer from acute and late rejection, infection, and exposure, making them the less preferred choice in ear reconstruction.

IDEAL AGE FOR MICROTIA SURGERY

The ideal age for undergoing surgery for reconstructing an absent external ear is 9 years, and above since after this age, the opposite (normal) ear does not grow in size. The rib cartilage must be of adequate size to form a complete ear framework for Microtia surgery.

MICROTIA SURGERY STAGES

Microtia surgery is performed in two stages.

In the first stage, the rib cartilage is harvested. A three-dimensional ear scaffold is created from harvested cartilage. If the patient has a normal second ear, it is used as a template to create the new ear from cartilage. Then, the ear's entire framework is created and inserted in the appropriate area on the head's side.

The ear looks complete from sideways, but it lacks a sulcus. This sulcus behind the ear is created in the second stage, between 3-6 months after the first stage. A tight bandage holds the skin graft in place for 5-7 days.

BENEFITS OF MICROTIA SURGERY

• Constructing a new ear structure using the patient’s own rib cartilage, so there is no risk of graft rejection.

• Natural-looking results on one or both sides of the head.

• Surgery can also correct hearing problems.

• Enhances facial appearance and balance.

• Helps individuals gain confidence and self-esteem.

HOSPITAL STAY

The patient needs to be in the hospital for 3-4 days for the first stage and 2-3 days for the second stage.
