  • Title: Auricular reconstruction after human bite amputation using the Baudet technique.
    Author: Norman ZI, Cracchiolo JR, Allen SH, Soliman AM.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 2015 Jan; 124(1):45-8. PubMed ID: 25024463.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to present a case of a successful re-implantation of an amputated auricle following a human bite using the Baudet technique. METHODS: Case report and review of the literature. RESULTS: The patient had a very satisfactory postoperative result in terms of appearance and function of the reattached auricle. Cartilage loss was minimal. CONCLUSION: Reattachment of an amputated auricle as a composite graft following a traumatic human bite is feasible. The Baudet technique is a simple alternative that avoids the complexity of microsurgical anastomosis while improving upon the high failure rate associated with simple reattachment.
