In 2019, Dr. Mashudu Tshifularo, a South African ENT surgeon from rural Venda, performed the world’s first middle-ear transplant using 3D-printed titanium bones, successfully restoring hearing in patients with conductive hearing loss.

This minimally invasive surgery, completed in just two hours, replaced damaged ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) with custom titanium implants, marking a significant leap in medical innovation.

The procedure, conducted at Steve Biko Academic Hospital, offered a faster recovery and reduced infection risk compared to traditional methods.

The establishment celebrates Dr. Tshifularo’s milestone, with follow-ups showing sustained hearing improvement in initial patients.

His work extends to pioneering bloodless tonsillectomy techniques using radiofrequency ablation, minimizing bleeding and pain.
