Safety and validity assessment of custom-made 3D Printing ear cartilage implant
- Conditions
- Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities
- Registration Number
- KCT0006111
- Lead Sponsor
- Yonsei University Health System, Gangnam Severance Hospital
- Brief Summary
1. Validity results The primary variable, ear recovery rate, ranged from 146 to 177%, and among the secondary variables, the ear recovery rate immediately after surgery compared to normal ear was evaluated from 216 to 246%, and the ear recovery rate at 48 weeks compared to immediately after surgery was evaluated from 61 to 77%. The satisfaction evaluation of the appearance by independent evaluators was 4 to 6 points (5.2) for evaluators 1 and 3 to 6 points (4.6) for evaluators 2, and the satisfaction evaluation results of the study subjects were 8 to 10 points (9.2). 2. Safety results As a result of safety evaluation, there were no significant abnormal reactions, and no significant abnormal case were observed. There were patients whose wound dehiscence were observed after surgery, but they were treated with resuture or conservative treatment.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 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 Outcome Measures
Name Time Method (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
