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

  • Republic of Ireland From the UK and Northern Ireland

    Due to Ireland's long relationship with Britain, citizens of Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom do not require passports to enter the Republic. As a consequence, there are no passport controls at land border crossing points. In fact, the border is rarely signposted and it is often difficult to tell when you have crossed from the Republic into Northern Ireland and vice-versa. Occasionally, the police (Garda) set up random checkpoints at border crossing points and may stop and question drivers exiting and entering, but are usually friendly and will normally wave tourists through without any trouble. When arriving at an Irish airport from the UK, you will be required to produce photo ID (drivers licence or passport) to prove that you are a British or Irish citizen.

  • The Senate on Jan. 22 will consider a bill (S 1200) that would reauthorize the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, Indian Country Today reports (Reynolds, Indian Country Today, 1/17). The legislation, sponsored by Senate Indian Affairs Committee Chair Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.
  • In a letter to the BMJ, the head of the Welsh Antimicrobial Resistance Programme argues that given the ever-increasing restrictions on antibiotic use in hospitals encouraged by the Dept of Health to control resistance and C difficile, it seems paradoxical of the MHRA to propose the reclassification of trimethoprim from a prescription only medicine to a pharmacy medicine. He discusses the following potential adverse effects of such a move on the public health of the community: • Link between antibiotic exposure and resistance - data from a case-control study shows that the risk of an antibiotic resistant E coli UTI was significantly associated with a trimethoprim prescription in the preceding month. • Selective pressure of using one antibiotic will often select for resistance to other unrelated agents; data from the Cardiff area show that trimethoprim resistant coliforms are significantly more resistant to second line treatments such as ciprofloxacin. • Selecting resistance in organisms other than those targeted by treatment; trimethoprim is an oral option for treating various infections caused by MRSA and increased trimethoprim use in the community is likely to select for resistance in MRSA. He concludes “for these reasons, and for the growing concern about Clostridium difficile associated disease in the community, antibiotic use must be regulated to minimise inappropriate use.”
