Abstract
The indications for surgery of congenital deafness in complete meatal aplasia, the methods of audiological and radiological assessment and an operative technique used in 10 ears were outlined. Otologic surgery should be done before pinna reconstruction as it is very important to introduce sound to these children at an early age. The position of the new auricle can be made more satisfactorily around an already established meatus. The value of tomography of the internal and the middle ear was stressed and the necessity for providing a stable and uninfected meatus was emphasized with regard to the possible fitting of a hearing aid.
