  • Title: Reconstruction of the auricle in minor grades of microtia by a silicone framework.
    Author: Nakai H, Ohmori S.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1979 Oct; 32(4):261-6. PubMed ID: 534788.
    Abstract:
    A silicone ear frame was used in a series of 31 minor microtia cases for subtotal external ear reconstruction. The authors' original method is described and includes the unfolding of the microtic ear in 3 flaps, circular shape trimming of the frame, and enlargement of the conchal cavity. There have been no failures in this series and no exposure in up to 4 years follow-up. Aesthetic results, on the whole, have been excellent.
