Auricular reconstruction using Medpor combined with different hearing rehabilitation approaches for microtia

CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE: The procedure of single-stage auricular reconstruction and hearing rehabilitation for microtia is feasible and effective. The appropriate method of hearing reconstruction should be determined by evaluating the development of the inner and middle ear of the patients. For those patients with poor development of the mastoid and ossicular chain, hearing aid devices are recommended to achieve a stable and significant hearing effect.PMID:33823748 | DOI:10.1080/00016489.2021.1900601
