KNOW ABOUT MICROTIA, TYPES, TREATMENT, AND SURGERY IN INDIA

Microtia is a birth defect that causes deformity of the external ear (sometimes middle and inner ear too) or missing earlobe. In severe cases, malformations of the ear can result in hearing loss due to the complete absence of the auditory canal. This defect can be corrected by ear reconstruction surgery. It is a very challenging surgery that involves harvesting rib cartilage by making small incisions, a meticulous carving of the harvested pieces of cartilage to form an ear framework, and attaching the sculpted ear at the right position. For achieving optimal results, the surgery can only be performed by an expert microtia surgeon. The surgery must be performed when the child reaches the age wherein the rib cartilage is enough to reconstruct an adult-sized ear. Dr. Parag Telang is an expert ear microtia surgeon in Mumbai (India), and various patients from all over the world, like the USA and England, visit him to correct the microtia ear defect.
