    Author: Cole RR, Jahrsdoerfer RA.
    Journal: Clin Plast Surg; 1990 Apr; 17(2):367-71. PubMed ID: 2189650.
    Abstract:
    Close cooperation between the plastic surgeon and the otologist, with each understanding and respecting the importance of the other's role, will provide the atresia/microtia patient with the best possible chance of a successful outcome. The purpose of the atresia repair is to improve hearing. Our goal is to attain, through surgery, hearing thresholds that will enable the patient to discard his hearing aid.
