Microtia ear deformity correction

16/4/2020

0 Comments

 

Patient born with a congenital right microtia ear deformity

​The patient is a 14-year-old boy who was born with a deformed right external ear. There was just a rudimentary structure in place. He had faced significant bullying in school. One of his greatest wishes in life was to be able to wear sunglasses like his father. His parents’ widespread enquiries for the best surgeon to address this issue led them to our hospital.

Treatment planning explained to the parents in detail

​Dr SM Balaji, microtia ear deformity surgeon, examined the patient and obtained detailed measurements of his normal left ear. He explained to the parents that the surgery needed to be performed in two stages. It was further explained that cartilaginous grafts needed to be harvested for the procedure. The parents consented to the procedure

First stage of cartilaginous recreation of external ear structure

​Under general anesthesia, a costochondral graft with an intact synchondrosis was first harvested from the patient. This was in the form of an ‘E’ in order to recreate the cartilage of the external ear. Using a template created from the measurements obtained from the normal ear, the graft was carved to recreate the external ear form.
Attention was next turned to placement of the costochondral graft at the site of the deformed right ear. A subcutaneous pocket was created followed by insertion of the graft into the pocket. The incision was closed and a period of three months was allowed to elapse before the second stage.

Second stage of raising the cartilaginous graft to recreate the perfect external ear

​A full thickness skin graft was harvested from the patient’s inguinal (groin) region. This was followed by incising around the cartilaginous graft and raising up the entire superstructure of the recreated right ear. The skin graft was then sutured to cover the exposed tissue behind the recreated pinna. A period of one month was allowed for full healing of the surgical site.

Patient expresses complete satisfaction at the results of the surgery

​The patient and his parents were very happy with the results of the surgery. He was now able to realize his long-cherished dream of wearing sunglasses like his father. His earlobe had also been perfectly recreated. They expressed their profuse gratitude to the surgical team before final discharge from the hospital.

Dentigerous cyst surgery – Bone Graft and Dental Implant Surgery

12/4/2020

Diagnosis and initial attempted resection of anterior cystic lesion

​This middle aged lady first noticed the swelling on her anterior left mandible two years ago. This was followed by loosening of teeth in the region. A local dentist had obtained an x-ray and diagnosed this to be a cystic lesion with an impacted tooth. He had attempted removal of the cyst; however, this had not resolved but had got infected. 

Referral to our hospital for surgical removal of infected dentigerous cyst

​Dr SM Balaji, jaw reconstruction specialist, examined the patient and obtained a biopsy. Biopsy confirmed this to be a dentigerous cyst. He advised resection followed by reconstruction with rib grafts and rehabilitation with dental implants.
 
The patient consented and subsequently underwent successful jaw reconstruction with rib grafts. She was advised to return in three months following bony consolidation of rib grafts with alveolar bone.

Dental implant surgery after complete consolidation of graft with alveolar bone

​The patient returned for dental implant placement after three months. Four Nobel Biocare dental implants were placed in the well consolidated alveolar bone. The patient was then instructed to return in four months to allow for implant osseointegration with bone.
 
Upon returning after four months, a ceramic bridge was fabricated in our in-house dental laboratory for the patient. Her bridge was then cemented to the implants to complete her rehabilitation.

Patient expresses her happiness at the successful completion of her treatment process

​The patient expressed her complete satisfaction at the overall treatment experience at our hospital. She thanked the surgical team for her successful rehabilitation before discharge from the hospital.
