Abstrakt:	This study, through the case analysis of 2 patients with congenital bilateral microtia, explores the causes and preventive strategies of atelectasis after bilateral rib cartilage extraction surgery. Although ear reconstruction technology is quite mature, it may lead to complications, such as atelectasis, due to thoracic surgery and general anesthesia. Pediatric patients are more prone to such complications due to narrower airways, less pulmonary surfactant, and difficulties in pain management. Therefore, for children undergoing bilateral rib cartilage extraction surgery, health care providers need to closely monitor their respiratory status, effectively manage postoperative pain, and encourage them to engage in deep breathing and coughing exercises as much as possible to prevent and improve atelectasis. Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest. (Copyright © 2024 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD.)
