Clinical and Anatomy in Microtia Patients and Application in Single stage Auricular Reconstruction

Recently, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyễn Hồng Hà participated in the largest aesthetic plastic surgery conference in Latin America – BAAS 2025.
A long line of delegates formed in the largest park in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, to attend BAAS, the biggest conference on aesthetic plastic surgery in Latin America. Over 5,000 delegates from countries with highly developed aesthetic surgery industries such as Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay, as well as Mexico and Brazil participated.
Vietnam was honored to be one of only two Asian representatives invited to this prestigious conference, taking part as a Main Speaker . Vietnam’s presentation on the application of minimally invasive techniques in aesthetic plastic surgery – including one-stage ear reconstruction, endoscopic breast augmentation, and emergency treatment for complications such as tissue necrosis and blindness caused by vascular occlusion due to filler injections – was highly acclaimed by the entire conference and presented in the main hall to thousands of attendees.
The media also showed great interest in the Vietnamese delegation’s topic: for the first time, the latest techniques for emergency treatment and managing severe complications like blindness and cerebral embolism caused by filler injections were shared and introduced directly in Latin American countries – home to some of the world’s powerhouses in aesthetic surgery.
Dr. Hà took commemorative photos with many delegates from countries such as Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and Chile. International doctors also expressed a strong desire to visit Vietnam to continue exchanging knowledge and learning new techniques currently being applied in the country.

Microtia is not a disease. Microtia is a congenital deformity resulting in an abnormally small, malformed or absent external ear (see Picture). This can range from minor structural issues to the complete absence of the external ear, known as anotia. The condition usually affects one ear but can occur in both ears. The incidence ratio of the microtia is various depending on the ethnic group. This ratio is about 1/6000 -1/8000 babies born. The incidence ratio of this disease is higher in the Asian communities. Commonly, the microtia is 2 times more in men than in women and 2 times more in the right than in the left. The both sides’ microtia ratio is 10-20% of the number cases.
The MedPor implant is a biocompatible, porous polyethylene implant used in reconstructive surgeries, including for microtia. Here are some key points about MedPor implants:
1. Material: MedPor is made from high-density polyethylene, which is biocompatible and allows for tissue integration. The porous structure promotes fibrovascular ingrowth, which helps the implant integrate with the patient's tissue.
2. Procedure: During the surgery, the MedPor implant is shaped to resemble the ear framework and is covered with skin grafts. This can be done as early as 3 to 5 years old.
3. Advantages:
· Single Surgery: Unlike rib cartilage grafts, which require multiple surgeries, MedPor implants can often be placed in a single procedure.
· Customization: The implant can be customized to match the shape and projection of the patient's natural ear, ensuring better symmetry.
· No Donor Site Morbidity: Since the implant is synthetic, there is no need to harvest cartilage from the patient's body, avoiding additional surgical sites.
4. Risks: There are some risks associated with MedPor implants, including infection and extrusion (where the implant pushes out of the skin). However, these risks are relatively low.
MedPor implants offer a promising option for ear reconstruction, especially for younger children or those who prefer a less invasive approach compared to rib cartilage grafts.
