Today, Dr. Gary Fudem and Dr. Cornejo worked together to form the outer part of Sandra's ear. First, they cut around the cartilage that was implanted last year, and lifted it to form what is now the outside of an ear. Then they took a skin graft from Sandra's abdomen and sutured it behind the new structure. Finally, they placed a "splint" behind the new ear to hold it away fromt he head while it heals.
