Also known as: reconstructive middle ear surgery, reconstructive outer ear surgery, tympanoplsaty surgery, ossicular reconstruction.
The ear can be malformed or absent for many reasons, either due to a birth defect, trauma, cancer or other reasons. Reconstructive surgery of the middle and outer ear is a medical procedure or a series of medical procedures used to rebuild the malformed or absent ear.
The specific nature of reconstructive surgery of the middle and outer ear can vary based on the nature of the problems with the ear. It often involves using cartilage from the rib cage and tissue from other parts of the body, such as the thigh or abdomen, for the reconstruction procedure. Sutures are used to anchor the ear in place after the procedure.
