For optimal function and esthetic results in the microtia/atresia patient, an integrated team approach between the plastic surgeon and the otologic surgeon is essential. This article addresses this complex management problem by drawing on the author's experience with more than 1000 microtia patients. This article elucidates an optimal strategy for integrated patient care that has been developed in conjunction with several experienced otologists over the past 25 years.
