The procedure of Ear reconstruction surgery in Delhiis autologous, which means that patient’s own rib cartilage is used toconstruct a new ear-lobe. This is completed in multiple phases and requiresbetween 2 to 5 surgeries. In the initial stages, cartilage is extracted fromthe rib-cage and is reconstructed to form a three-dimensional structure thatresembles a normal ear-lobe. This ear shape is realistic enough and it does notattract attention to itself. This is the prime objective of the entireear-construction surgery. The cartilage is carved and pieced together to createan ear framework. This framework is buried underneath the scalp. After the earhas healed, more surgeries are required to complete the reconstruction, toelevate the ear away from the scalp, to reposition the earlobe and to makeother functional adjustments. Additional cartilage that remains extra is savedeither at the rib donor site or underneath the temporal scalp for use in alater stage. Suction catheters are placed under the skin to create betterdefinition around the framework. They are later removed in 3 – 5 days. Childrenare usually admitted to the hospital for three to five days.
