Woman’s ear rebuilt with 3D-printed living tissue implant



A woman has had her external ear reconstructed using a 3D-printed living tissue implant in what appears to be the first trial of its kind, according to reports.

The technology has been developed for people with microtia, a rare congenital condition in which one or both outer ears are absent or incompletely formed.

According to the New York Times, the transplant was carried out in the US in March on a 20-year-old woman from Mexico who was born with a small and misshapen right ear.
