Summary

This study aims to improve ear reconstruction surgery for children and young adults with ear differences due to birth defects, injuries, or cancer. Researchers are testing a new medical device that helps shape cartilage into a more natural-looking ear framework, potentially reducing surgery time and the need for wires. The study will compare results from the new device to traditional hand-carving methods, focusing on patient and parent satisfaction.
