Summary
This study looked at the psychological experiences of children aged 10 to 16 who were born with one missing ear (ear aplasia) and chose to have reconstructive surgery. Researchers used personality tests and questionnaires to understand the children's emotions, body image, and quality of life before and after surgery. The goal was to learn how the condition and the surgery affect their mental health, not to test a new treatment.
