The older method of ear reconstruction uses rib cartilage to create an ear framework. It not only takes multiple stages, but requires a large amount of cartilage, which delays reconstruction until there is sufficient cartilage available to be able to remove it without causing a noticeable chest deformity. Cartilage ear reconstruction is usually done around ten years of age. Unfortunately, this is when children are in school and have become aware for their facial difference.
A Medpor implant is a porous polyethylene framework that Dr. Reinisch designed and has used for ear reconstruction in children since 1991. The framework allows reconstruction to be done at a young age, before children start school and are exposed to peer comments.

Last year, Dr. Mohamed Abdel Wahab visited Los Angeles and observed Dr. Reinisch's surgeries for a few months. He was impressed by Dr. Reinisch's highly skilled technique of the Medpor ear reconstruction surgery and when he went back to Egypt he shared his learning experience with his collegues and superiors. He enjoyed Dr. Reinisch's mentoring so much that he invited Dr. Reinisch to the conference where Dr. Reinisch was honored. Dr. Reinisch also had the chance to visit the pyramids and ride camels with his wife Nancy, where they had an enjoyable time.

Cedar Torrico is a handsome young man from Bolivia who has had a previous rib cartilage ear reconstruction with unsatisfactory result. He came Los Angeles last year and had Medpor ear reconstruction with Dr. Reinisch and is very happy with his new ear. He recently wrote to us: I'm C sar from Bolivia. December 9, 2014 I entered the operating room with great faith and God's hand, confident that everything will go well. After a few hours, thanks to Dr. John Reinisch, I woke up and from that moment my life changed. Today I'm a person who feels secure, confident and am very happy since. Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create. Thank you so much Dr. John Reinisch, Mitzi Quintero and Julie Salas. God bless you.

Hongyi is a sweet boy from Chengdu, China born with bilateral Atresia Microtia. He and his parents traveled to Los Angeles in 2014 for left ear reconstruction and again earlier this year for right ear reconstruction with Dr. Reinisch. Hongyi's mother writes to us: Dear Dr. Reinisch and dear Alice, good morning. Long time no see. Do you remember Hongyi? :) We started elementary in September this year, he is now a cute student. We are grateful for Dr. Reinisch as you are like an angel and gave Hongyi a pair of beautiful Medpor ears, our whole family is thankful for Dr. Reinisch's superb medical skills and Alice's nice help through the surgery process. Winter has begun in Chengdu and today the weather is very nice. I've attached Hongyi's photos I'd like to share with you. Wishing you happiness daily!
