  • Natural ear reconstruction without prolonged pain after cartilage-harvesting surgery is now possible
    on May 26, 2026 at 8:40 pm

    Ann & Robert H.

Previously, children with microtia have suffered prolonged postoperative pain because cartilage for ear reconstruction is harvested from one of their ribs. Now, prior to plastic surgery, Lurie Children’s specialists freeze the nerve at the rib harvesting site through a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided procedure that lasts only 20 minutes. Patients can go home without pain as early as a day after surgery.
