1. Choice of operation opportunity: Choosing a suitable operation opportunity needs to be considered from both psychological and physiological aspects. Psychologically, preschool surgery can alleviate children's inferiority complex caused by discrimination in collective life. However, because the amount of costal cartilage can not meet the needs of auricle reconstruction before the age of 6, the optimal operation time is 6 ~ 10. Considering that thoracic deformity will occur after the costal cartilage is removed, it is suggested that Asians should carry out auricle reconstruction after reaching 1 1 year, so that not only enough cartilage can be transplanted, but also the probability of thoracic deformity can be reduced.

2. Choice of hearing improvement: At present, for patients with microtia complicated with atresia of external auditory canal and hypoplasia of middle and inner ear, the best scheme is to fit bone conduction hearing AIDS, such as BAHA. Bone guide.jpg

The sooner you can improve your child's hearing and promote language development, instead of simply carrying out auricle reconstruction and plastic surgery, because the golden age of language development is before the age of 3. If we miss this age, the impact on language development will be irreversible. Therefore, the intervention of auricle malformation is also carried out in accordance with the principle of "three early". That is, early detection, early diagnosis and early intervention.
