Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Context:

  • Microtia, a congenital ear deformity, presents significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Surgical techniques for auricular reconstruction have evolved considerably over time.
  • Reconstruction is typically performed around age eight, coinciding with functional ear surgery.

Purpose:

  • To describe the evolution of surgical techniques for microtia reconstruction.
  • To present the current preferred method using a costal cartilage framework.
  • To outline alternative strategies for complex cases and functional considerations.

Summary:

  • The preferred method involves a multi-step costal cartilage framework reconstruction for microtia.
  • For challenging cases with poor skin quality, options include tissue expansion and superficial temporalis fascia grafts.
  • Auricular prostheses on bone-integrated implants are recommended for severe cases.
  • Functional middle ear surgery is integrated into the overall reconstruction plan.

Impact:

  • Provides a comprehensive overview of current auricular reconstruction practices for microtia.
  • Offers guidance on managing complex cases and selecting appropriate reconstructive options.
  • Highlights the importance of a staged approach considering both aesthetic and functional outcomes.
