Chinese doctors have successfully raised the hand of the artificial ear.
The operation, which is still not passed to the final stage, carried out under the guidance of Dr. Th Shujun (Guo Shuzhong) from the hospital at Jiao Tong University in XI’an (Shaanxi province).
Patient – Mr. JI – some time ago had an accident where I lost my right ear. In addition, the man had disfigured part of his face, and he had several plastic surgeries to restore the skin. However, to return the ear with the help of traditional medicine was not possible, and JI turned to Sujono.
The doctor decided to carry out the operation in three stages. On the ground under the right forearm JI set the extender of the skin. The second doctors removed from the patient’s rib cartilage is modeled from the form of the future and an ear transplanted on his arm.
The third phase, which has not yet been done is to transplant artificially grown ear in the head by the imposition of vascular anastomosis. According to the plan of Sujuna this part of the operation will be conducted in about three to four months.
