Objectives:

  1. Identify the embryologic, anatomic, and audiologic features of microtia and aural atresia relevant to surgical planning and patient counseling.
  2. Compare current surgical reconstruction techniques for microtia, including autologous costal cartilage and alloplastic frameworks, with attention to indications, outcomes, and complications.
  3. Evaluate candidacy and timing for atresia repair versus bone conduction hearing solutions, incorporating audiologic assessment and imaging findings.
  4. Measure recent advances and future innovations in microtia and atresia management, including regenerative medicine, 3D bioprinting, and novel implantable hearing technologies.
  5. Apply principles of multidisciplinary care in the longitudinal management of patients with microtia and aural atresia, considering surgical timing, speech development, and psychosocial support.
