How to treat microtia

Microauricular malformation is a kind of congenital malformation of the ear, which is characterized by abnormal shape, size or structure of the auricle. For the treatment of microtia, a personalized treatment plan should be formulated according to the specific situation.

1、 Treatment

1. Surgical treatment: surgery is the main method to treat microtia. The purpose of the operation is to reconstruct the shape and structure of the auricle so that it is as close to the normal ear as possible. The operation methods include auricle reconstruction, external auditory canal plasty, etc.

2. Non operative treatment: For some mild microtia, non operative treatment can be used. Non operative treatment methods include wearing artificial ear and using auricle orthotics.

2、 Operation opportunity

The choice of operation time is very important for the treatment of microtia. Generally speaking, the operation time should be around the age of 6. At this time, the patient's ear has basically matured, and the surgical effect will be better.

3、 Surgical risk

Although the surgical treatment of microtia is effective, there are certain risks. The operation risks include bleeding, infection, and the shape of the auricle is not ideal. Therefore, before surgery, patients need to fully understand the risks of surgery and operate under the guidance of doctors.

4、 Postoperative care

Postoperative nursing is also very important for the treatment of microtia. Postoperative care includes keeping ears clean, avoiding collisions, and regular reexamination. Patients need postoperative care according to the doctor's requirements to ensure the surgical effect.

5、 Choice of hospitals and doctors

Choosing a regular hospital and an experienced doctor is very important for the treatment of microtia. Patients can learn about the hospital and doctors through the network, friends and other ways, and choose a suitable hospital and doctor for treatment.

6、 Case sharing

Before the operation, the doctor made detailed preoperative preparations for Xiao Li, including formulating the operation plan and conducting preoperative examinations. During the operation, doctors used auricle reconstruction and external auditory canal plasty to successfully reconstruct Xiao Li's left auricle and external auditory canal.

After the operation, Xiao Li carried out postoperative care according to the doctor's requirements to keep his ears clean, avoid collisions, and have regular re examinations. After a period of recovery, Xiao Li's left auricle shape and external auditory canal function basically returned to normal.
