  • Title: A True Single-Stage Reconstruction of a Projected Auricle for Concha-Type Microtia Incorporating Endoscopically Harvested Temporoparietal Fascia.
    Author: Nataliya B, Martin MC.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2015 Sep; 26(6):1930-2. PubMed ID: 26147024.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of microtia with autogenous costal cartilage that produces a well-projected ear in a single stage is a challenging endeavor. In this case report, we describe a single-stage, projected costal cartilage-based reconstruction of concha type mitoria. Due to the patient's low hairline, his hair-bearing scalp would encroach on the ear framework if placed subcutaneously in the standard fashion. Thus, a large TPF flap harvested with endoscopic assistance was planned to achieve both a color-matched hairless skin envelope and a well-projected ear in single stage.
