Doctors at Florence’s Meyer hospital said Tuesday that they have used 3D printing techniques to construct an external ear for a child.
.
The patient is a 13-year-old boy who was born with no external ears because of a severe form of microtia, a congenital deformity in which the pinna is underdeveloped. Plastic surgeons used the boy’s costal cartilage to create an ear using 3D printing.

Doctors are planning to do a similar operation for the other ear. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © Copyright ANSA
