Each year, Vanderbilt University Medical Center hosts an annual Microtia and Atresia conference. The clinic conference provides education about all options that are currently available for Microtia and Atresia repair. Surgical techniques discussed are: soft tissue repair, rib graft and Medpor/Su-Por reconstruction, atresia repair/canalplasty (including CAM, combined atresia with Medpor outer ear reconstruction), ear prosthesis, and hearing device and hearing implantation options. Additional topics of discussion during the conference cover insurance help, the psychology of raising a child who has Microtia and Atresia, and audiology services. Families can enjoy the day and mingle with Vanderbilt’s medical staff who specialize in Microtia and Atresia care. FREE child care is provided along with lots of fun for the kids.
