Summary

This study tests a new medical device that helps surgeons shape cartilage into a more natural-looking ear for children and young adults with missing or deformed ears due to birth defects, injuries, or cancer surgery. About 30 participants aged 5-20 will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the device leads to better-looking ears, shorter surgery times, and less wire use compared to the traditional hand-carving method.
