Fewer or no less 'Smallness', reconstructive surgery 8-10 years old is best
Aug 25, 2024
11-year-old A recently wore a mask for the first time. Born with congenital dwarfism, the shape of ears is small compared to peers of his age, and hearing loss is severe, so he had a lot of difficulties in his daily life, but he recently recovered his daily life through ear reconstruction surgery.
Neutropathy is a disease in which the external ear is not developed by nature. It occurs in various forms, such as cases where the ear size is smaller than normal or the ear shape is not formed properly, and cases where hearing loss occurs due to functional problems in the ear. Most of them show symptoms only in one ear, but 5% of all patients show symptoms in both ears.
If there is no ear shape only, it is treated through ear reconstruction surgery. Among the various surgical methods, the method of making ears by removing chest cartilage, carving it into an ear shape, and transplanting it into the defective area is commonly used. Ear reconstructive surgery is common after 8 to 10 years of age, when ear size reaches 80% of adults, and for reconstruction with cartilage, the timing of surgery is further delayed to 10 to 12 years of age.
Deuteronomy accompanied by hearing loss requires consultation with several departments. The blocked ear canal should be opened through external ear canal plastic surgery, or bone conduction hearing aid transplantation should be performed. Appropriate surgical methods are selected according to the patient's condition, and hearing should be improved through auditory reconstruction surgery and continuous auditory rehabilitation.
Professor Park Ho-jin of Plastic Surgery at Korea University Anam Hospital said "Synovia is a disease that requires a multi-faceted approach. However, due to a lack of accurate information, there are many cases where unreasonable reconstruction occurs at an inappropriate time or minor ear deformities cannot be treated due to the inability to wear braces during the newborn period.
Professor Hojin Park said, `At the Ear Plastic Surgery Research Center, patients can receive safer and more professional treatment"Especially, the center's rehabilitation clinics focus on providing the right information to patients and carers."
The ear reconstruction clinic, operated by the Ear Plastic Research Center at Korea University Anam Hospital, provides treatment not only for patients aged 10 to 12 years and older, but also for all ages, including newborns and children, who have not yet reached the time of ear reconstruction surgery. Together with the patient's growth process, it provides in-depth counseling, such as providing appropriate treatments for individuals according to their age.
On the other hand, Korea University Anam Hospital has led the treatment of patients with urinary, ear-type, and traumatic ear injury, opening the world's first ear plastic surgery research center in university hospitals in 2006. For the first time in Korea, Professor Park Ho-jin has improved the accuracy and safety of surgery by finding the regularity of vascular mutations in patients with dwarfism.
