  • Title: [Secondary reconstruction of the external ear destroyed by burns. Indications and techniques. Apropos of 30 clinical cases].
    Author: Firmin F.
    Journal: Ann Chir Plast Esthet; 1995 Jun; 40(3):252-63. PubMed ID: 7574402.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of an ear destroyed by burns raises several difficulties related to the presence of associated lesions. The essential element determining the indication for reconstruction is the possibility to cover a three dimensional cartilaginous graft with skin. Depending on the local condition of the skin, retroauricular skin, a temporal fascia flap or preliminary expansion may be indicated. Reconstruction should be performed when the chances of obtaining a good result are sufficient in a motivated patient. If these conditions are not satisfied, prosthesis should be proposed.
