Summary

This study looked at the emotional and psychological experiences of 12 children aged 10 to 16 who were born without one ear (ear aplasia) and chose to have reconstructive surgery. Researchers used interviews and tests to understand how the children think and feel, and how surgery may affect their mental health and quality of life. The goal was to learn, not to test a treatment.
