  • Title: Microtia: total reconstruction of the auricle in one single operation.
    Author: Avelar JM, Psillakis JM.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1981 Apr; 34(2):224-7. PubMed ID: 7236985.
    Abstract:
    A one-stage method of total reconstruction of the external ear in microtic patients is described. The auricular framework is fashioned from autogenous rib cartilage. Cover is provided by a vascular pedicle of the conchal area and by the aponeurotic layer which protects the posterior surface supplemented by a full-thickness skin graft. The surgical technique is described and the indications for the operation are indicated.
