Ear Surgery Procedure


The surgery called otoplasty and it is targeted to correct protruding or large outer ears. It is usually done in children ages 4-14. The ear reaches it's final size around ages 4-6 and therefore it is better to perform the surgery at a younger age to avoid unnecessary suffering. Additional conditions which can be corrected are "lop ear" in which the upper ear is folded and leans forward, "cupped ear" in which the outer ears are unusually small and "shell ear" in which there is flattening of the folds resulting in a shell like ear. Long, short or torn ear lobes also can be fixed. This operation can repair congenital ear defects and make reconstruction of the outer ear after trauma.

The operation usually lasts between 1-3 hours; more complex procedures may last even longer. A cut is made behind the ear, making it invisible, to allow excess to ear cartilage. Then the surgeon will design the cartilage using cuts and sutures to get the desired shape. Sometimes non-absorbable stitches are used in order to create fold, those stitches will be under the skin and there is no need to remove them. A few surgeons prefer to make the cut in front of the ear and hide the scar behind the skin folds. In most of the cases the scar fades with time and is hardly seen. Both ears can be corrected in the same operation.

For younger children general anesthesia is preferred, for cooperative adults it can be done using local anesthetics and sedative drugs. Every operation has its risk. There is risk of blood clots under the scar area which usually absorb after few days; otherwise there is a need to drain then. There is a risk of infection involving the ear cartilage which can leave a scar. Those infection can be treated successfully with antibiotics in most of the cases and rarely require surgical drainage.

After the surgery a majority of the adults can return to their homes, young children usually left overnight for observation. The ears are bandaged with a bandage around the head to prevent bleeding and preserve the final shape. The ears will be swollen and painful for a couple of days. It is advised to avoid any activities that can harm the ears for about a month. Children should pay extra attention while playing. You shouldn't sleep on the repaired ear for about 7-10 days

  • Greece Classical Greece

    The rise of the Greek city-states occurred sometime around 1200 to 800 BC and heralded the Golden Age of Greece which lasted many centuries and spurred several scientific, architectural, political, economic, artistic, and literary achievements. Athens, Sparta, Corinth, and Thebes were the most prominent of the city-states (with Athens being the most prestigious), but there were several other advanced city-states and colonies that had developed across the Aegean basin. Greek settlements were also established in southern Italy and other coastal areas of the Mediterranean colonized by Greeks. The legacy of Greek Civilization from this time period made a major impact on the world and continues to influence us to this day.

    Greece boasts a very long history, with the Greek language being present in the country for nearly 4,000 years.

  • Following serious concerns raised about Staffordshire Ambulance Service NHS, the Healthcare Commission launched an investigation covering the period April 2004 to June 2007. In particular, there were concerns about the trust’s management of risk, its use of medicines and its community first responder scheme. Some of the findings of the investigation were as follows: 1. Ambulance staff and volunteer community first responders were supplied with drugs that they were not legally supposed to possess, such as diazepam and midazolam. 2. Medicines in the trust’s stations regularly went missing or were unaccounted for due to poor recording and monitoring. 3. Patients were sometimes given larger packs of drugs than they needed and told to dispose of the excess themselves. 4. Community first responders were allowed to drive at speed using blue lights and sirens, without the necessary advanced driving training. 5. The doctors employed in the out-of-hours GP service, provided by the trust for south Staffordshire were not always GPs, nor were they approved by the relevant PCTs. 6. The ambulance trust introduced new equipment without guidance on which patients it was appropriate for or evidence that it was beneficial or cost effective. 7. Delays in transferring patients from ambulances to A&E were not well managed. The Commission stresses that West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust (WMAS), which took over Staffordshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust in October 2007 has already made progress on addressing these issues, such as introducing a new system for supplying medicines to community first responders and ambulance staff; and formal pharmaceutical advice is now available to the trust. The Healthcare Commission is also calling on the Department of Health and the Home Office to improve guidance to trusts on licenses to possess controlled drugs.
