Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Congenital microtia presents significant cosmetic and auditory challenges.
  • Traditional rehabilitation methods for microtia have limitations.
  • Restoring hearing and appearance in microtia requires innovative solutions.

Observation:

  • A child with bilateral congenital microtia was treated.
  • Custom-made prostheses incorporating in-the-ear hearing aids were utilized.
  • Canaloplasty was performed to create rudimentary external auditory meati.

Findings:

  • The novel auditory rehabilitation technique involved prostheses overlying the meati after canaloplasty.
  • The prostheses were secured using a newly developed prosthetic contact adhesive.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The adhesive demonstrated excellent retention, minimal skin reaction, and high patient acceptability.

    • Implications:

    • This method offers a new approach for auditory and cosmetic rehabilitation in microtia.
    • The developed prosthetic adhesive is a key factor in the success of the prostheses.
    • Further research may validate this technique for other selected microtia cases.
