What department does auricle malformation refer to

Auricular malformation is a common congenital disease, which will affect the appearance and hearing of patients. So, what department should we look at for auricle deformity? Generally speaking, auricle deformity can be seen in otorhinolaryngology, plastic surgery or maxillofacial surgery.

1、 Otolaryngology

Otolaryngology is a professional department for the treatment of ear diseases. It has rich experience in the diagnosis and treatment of auricle deformities. Otolaryngologists can understand the degree and type of auricle deformity through ear examination, hearing test and other methods, and formulate corresponding treatment plans. If auricle deformity affects hearing, otorhinolaryngologists can also carry out hearing rehabilitation treatment.

2、 Plastic surgery

Plastic surgery is a department specialized in treating various body surface deformities and cosmetic problems. It has a high level of technology for the plastic repair of auricle deformities. Plastic surgeons can use surgery, injection, laser and other methods to reshape and repair the auricle according to the specific situation of the patient, so as to restore its normal shape and function.

3、 Maxillofacial surgery

Maxillofacial surgery is a professional department for the treatment of maxillofacial bone and soft tissue diseases. It also has some experience in the treatment of auricle deformities. Maxillofacial surgeons can reshape and repair the auricle through surgery and other methods, and can also solve the problems of maxillofacial bone and soft tissue.

4、 Precautions for selecting departments

1. Understand the department setting of the hospital and the professional background of doctors, and select doctors with rich experience and professional skills for treatment.

2. Before seeing a doctor, you can consult the customer service personnel of the hospital through the network, telephone and other ways to understand the treatment process and precautions.

3. When seeing a doctor, describe the condition and symptoms to the doctor in detail so that the doctor can make accurate diagnosis and treatment.

4. Pay attention to selecting regular hospitals and medical institutions to avoid unnecessary injuries and losses.

5、 Treatment of auricle deformity

1. Surgical treatment: surgery is the main method to treat auricle deformity, including auricle reconstruction, auricle plastic surgery, etc. The effect of surgical treatment is good, but the risk is also large, and patients need to make full preparations before surgery.

2. Non operative treatment: Non operative treatment includes injection filling, laser treatment, etc. The risk of non-surgical treatment is small, but the effect is relatively poor, which requires patients to understand before treatment.

6、 Prevention of auricle deformity

1. Pay attention to health care during pregnancy: pregnant women should pay attention to balanced nutrition during pregnancy, avoid contact with harmful substances, maintain a happy mood, and prevent fetal malformations.

2. Avoid ear injury: In daily life, pay attention to protecting the ear to avoid ear injury, such as avoiding pulling the ear forcibly and avoiding the ear from being hit.

3. Timely treatment of ear diseases: if there are ear diseases, such as otitis media, otitis externa, etc., timely treatment should be carried out to avoid aggravating the disease and leading to auricle deformity.
