 Atresia Repair / Medpor now combined into ONE surgical procedure
Late January, 2008, Drs. Reinisch and Roberson (assisted by Drs. Colen and Lewin) combined to perform the world's first procedure where atresia repair and medpor auricular reconstruction were combined into a single surgical procedure. The early results from this combined procedure, which took approximately seven hours to complete, appear to be as good if not better than performing it in the traditional two, or occasionally three procedures.

Welcome to the California Ear Institute's Atresia Repair Resource Center
The California Ear Institute is a leading global center for atresia repair, the surgical procedure to correct congenital aural atresia. Dr. Joseph Roberson, a board certified neurotologist, has performed hundreds of successful atresia repair surgeries on children and adults from dozens of countries, creating functional ear canals and restoring hearing to within normal limits. Dr. Roberson undertakes this surgery as early as three years of age, so that hearing can be maximized during the crucial language development burst that takes place between the ages of three and five. Dr. Roberson's atresia repair surgery is compatible with all forms of outer ear reconstruction - Medpor, Rib Graft, and Prosthetics.
