Reconstructive surgery for ear skin cancer defects can be complex. Silicone auricular prostheses offer a cost-effective, cosmetic alternative for patients avoiding or delaying surgical repair.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Large defects of the ear's skin and cartilage following skin cancer surgery often necessitate complex, staged flap reconstruction.
  • Surgical reconstruction can be invasive and may not be suitable for all patients.

Observation:

  • An alternative approach involves the fabrication of custom silicone auricular prostheses.
  • These prostheses serve as a method for camouflaging defects.

Findings:

  • Silicone auricular prostheses present a viable option for patients who elect to defer or decline surgical reconstruction.
  • The fabrication process for these prostheses is detailed, highlighting their practical application.

Implications:
