TRUSTWELL Hospitals Pioneers Life-Changing Ear Surgery for Malaysian Teen

TRUSTWELL Hospitals in Bengaluru successfully conducted a complex ear reconstruction surgery on a 14-year-old Malaysian boy suffering from Microtia. The groundbreaking procedure, led by Dr. Vishwas Vijayadev and his team, has not only physically transformed the teen but also boosted his confidence and social well-being.

TRUSTWELL Hospitals, one of Asia's leading medical institutions for reconstructive surgeries, has successfully executed a groundbreaking ear reconstruction surgery. The procedure transformed the life of a 14-year-old Malaysian boy, Himalesh, diagnosed with Microtia, a rare condition affecting 1 in 10,000 children, leaving them without external ears.

Despite earlier surgeries in Malaysia, Himalesh's condition didn't improve, leading his determined parents to TRUSTWELL Hospitals in Bengaluru, renowned for complex ear surgeries. A specialized surgical team led by Dr. Vishwas Vijayadev anatomically crafted a new ear using cartilage from Himalesh's ribs, a process that lasted 10 hours and was marked by precision to avert nerve damage.

Dr. Vijayadev stressed that many children with Microtia suffer due to social stigma and often rely on temporary prosthetics. The two-phase surgery provides a natural and lasting solution, enhancing both the boy's appearance and hearing capabilities. Himalesh's mother expressed profound gratitude for the surgery's success, noting her son's renewed confidence.
