Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery
Microtia and Aural Atresia Center
Our center is dedicated to the treatment of congenital ear deformities, offering advanced reconstructive surgical techniques and associated hearing loss treatments. Our team provides expert care and compassionate support for patients of all ages and their families.
Overview
In some cases of microtia, the external ear appears different and/or smaller. These changes may be present in one ear or, less commonly, in both ears. This condition can result in hearing loss and, in some cases, the formation of a skin cyst (cholesteatoma) in the canal requiring surgical removal.
Meet Our Team
Due to the complex nature of this condition, which may include both external deformity and associated hearing loss, we combine the expertise of ear and facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Oral/maxillofacial surgeons, audiologists, radiologists, pediatric anesthetists, prosthodontists, and child life specialists are also frequently involved in care.
