A prospective evaluation of psychosocial outcomes following ear reconstruction with rib cartilage in microtia
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 10/06/09
Steffen A et al. – The study shows that the clinically known improvement of psychosocial aspects can be documented by a validated psychological test. The patient's expectations and surgical limits of the reconstruction with rib cartilage need detailed discussion prior to surgery to prevent dissatisfaction despite surgical success. The data help to accept a child's denial as these patients have a good psychosocial standing even with an unrepaired microtia.
