  • Title: Elevation of Costal Cartilage Ear Construct for Microtia Using a V-Y Scalp Flap.
    Author: Greene AK, Sudduth CL.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2020; 31(5):1467-1468. PubMed ID: 32310887.
    Abstract:
    Autologous ear construction for microtia creates an auricle using a costal cartilage framework. To separate the construct from the mastoid, the most common methods incorporate the use of fascial flaps or skin grafting. The authors describe a V-Y skin and subcutaneous scalp advancement flap for ear elevation as part of autologous ear construction for microtia. The method is simple and reliable and offers advantages compared to other techniques.
