Transplants and implants for major ear anomalies.

To accomplish two objectives, morphological and functional improvements, in plastic operation of major ear anomalies, the authors presented a surgical method utilizing exclusively auto materials and several pedicles of skin, fascia and periostium. A partially implantable middle ear implantable hearing aid (Partial-MEI) is also an indication to those anomalies. Incidentally, we implanted the first Partial-MEI to a patient with unilateral atresia-microtia. The case was presented and demonstrated Partial-MEI implantation as one of the approaches for major ear anomalies to improve hearing.
