For bilateral microtia with external auditory canal atresia, patients should first consider external auditory canal and middle ear surgery to improve their hearing. For unilateral microtia with atresia of external auditory canal, auricle reconstruction should be carried out first. In the future, we will decide whether to have middle ear surgery according to our needs. If conditions permit, auricle reconstruction and middle ear surgery can also be combined.

For patients with microtia and severe maxillofacial deformities, maxillofacial plastic surgery should be performed first. Otherwise, the reconstructed ear cannot be placed in the proper position.

Auricular defect will seriously affect the normal psychological development of children. In order not to affect their psychological development, ear reconstruction surgery should be completed at school age, generally after 6 years old.
