The second method: the treatment of congenital ear malformation is to correct auricle and ear canal malformation and improve hearing. The operation includes auricle reconstruction, external auditory canal formation and hearing reconstruction. Because the cartilage for auricle reconstruction is taken from the patient's autologous costal cartilage, it has high safety and natural shape, so the reconstructed ear has blood circulation and will grow naturally with age.
