Update from Helping Kids in Ecuador (HKIE)
This is Vicki, (child # 218) a precious 5 year old who is happy as a clam. While she is still in the healing process, Vicki and her family love her new ear!. She was the first patient in Ecuador to have the Medpor method of ear creation for patients born with Microtia developed by Dr. John Reinisch of Beverly Hills, Ca
Dr Pablo spent two weeks last year at Dr Reinisch's clinic being trained on the proper techniques of this type of su...rgery.
Vicki told her surgeon, Dr Pablo Salamea Molina, that she never had any pain from the surgery. That is one of the benefits from this new method...plus only requiring one surgery rather than 3 or 4 to create the ear. Also, no or only one night stay in the hospital.
Thank you Dr. Reinisch and Dr. Pablo for changing this precious little girl's life in such a dramatic way!
