Abstract
|
|
|
The full balance and harmony of the external organs of the body are essential organ for the beauty of the human form in both sexes. It needs no emphasis that a deficient ear lobe needs a tolerable reconstruciton without leaving scars or marks of surgery behind.
Fortunately, , pioneer surgeons such as Kirkham, Gillies, Pierce, Webster, and Aufricht laid the ground rules for ear reconstruction. More recently, Cronine, Musgrave, Converse, Rubin, and Tanzer, have refindand extended the techniques-thus renewing the interests of many of their colleagues in finding better surgical methods.
The ear reconstruction is effected in 3 stages combined in 2 operations. First stage: outlining the position of the new ear: removal and modelling of the cartilage. Second stage: rotation of the mal￢positioned lobe and embedding of the modelled cartillagenous framework through the same incision (1st operation). Third stage: undermining the ear from the skull covering theraw area with asplit￢thickness skin graft (2nd operation).
Authors report a case of reconstrouction for the traumatic partial ear loss treated successfully in Medical College of Korea University.
