摘要
The distinction between reconstructive and aesthetic surgery becomes less apparent when body image and self-esteem secondary to congenital deformities affect psychosocial well-being. Parents and plastic surgeons debate the appropriate age to correct non-life-threatening congenital defects to avoid a psychologically distressing event to the child. Furthermore, an ethical debate emerges when parents make decisions on behalf of children below the age of consent and lack the necessary cognitive development. This challenging responsibility then rests upon the operating practitioner to prioritize the child's best interests. This paper examines three hypothetical cases to explore the psychosocial and ethical aspects of conducting external ear surgery in the pediatric population and determining the ideal timing. La distinction entre chirurgie reconstructive et chirurgie esthetique s'estompe lorsque l'image corporelle et l'estime de soi decoulant d'anomalies congenitales compromettent le bien-etre psychosocial. Les parents et les plasticiens echangent sur l'age approprie pour corriger des anomalies congenitales sans potentiel mortel afin d'eviter un evenement provoquant de la detresse psychologique chez l'enfant. De plus, un debat ethique emerge lorsque les parents prennent des decisions pour le compte de leur enfant qui n'a pas encore l'age du consentement et ne possedent pas le developpement cognitif necessaire. Cette responsabilite exigeante repose ensuite sur le chirurgien qui doit prioriser l'interet de l'enfant. Le present article aborde trois cas hypothetiques pour explorer les aspects psychosociaux et ethiques de la chirurgie de l'oreille externe dans la population pediatrique et pour determiner le moment ideal de l'effectuer.
