Scottish surgeons ‘create’ new ear for student
Scottish surgeons have carried out a ground-breaking reconstruction of a student’s ear.
Tausiq Shirazi was born with congenital microtia, meaning he had no ear or ear canal on one side of his head.
Surgeons in Edinburgh have carried out a series of operations to create an ear and fit an implant to let him hear on both sides for the first time.
