Abstract
|
|
|
The auricle, diverging from the side of the head, consists of a delicate shell of elastric cartilage between the anterior and posterior of the thin skins.
Thus, a radiacl chage in the outlook for the results of ear reconstruction has occured in recent years due to the delicate anatomical specificity. Inspite of the challenge of the many plastic surgeons, successful resconstruction of acquired defects may be extrimely difficult or impossible- especially, in patients who have suffered total traumatic loss of the auricle in which the local soft tissues are destroyed or deeply scarred.
We experienced the case of total auricular loss with severe periauricular abrasion and dirty tattooing, and can obtained successful total ear reconstuction using buried cartilage and the distant flap.
