Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The rate of ear restoration by independent assessors at 48 weeks ± 2 weeks after surgery compared to the normal volume of the ear before surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
(1) Evaluation of ear restoration rate (%) by independent assessors at (0 weeks) + 2 weeks immediately after surgery compared to normal ear volume before surgery.(2) Evaluation of the ear retention rate (%) by an independent evaluator at 48 weeks ± 2 weeks after surgery compared to the volume of the ear immediately after surgery (0 weeks) + 2 weeks after surgery.(3) Evaluation of satisfaction with appearance by independent evaluators for microtia restoration after 48 weeks ± 2 weeks of surgery using 7-scale.(4) Evaluating the satisfaction level of microtia restoration after 48 weeks ± 2 weeks of surgery using ANA scale
