This study introduces a 3-dimensional resin template model for auricular reconstruction. This model aids in creating accurate 3-dimensional cartilage frameworks, improving surgical outcomes for external ear reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Auricular reconstruction aims for a complete 3-dimensional framework and adequate skin coverage.
  • Existing methods often result in incomplete or disproportionate cartilage frameworks.

Observation:

  • A novel 3-dimensional resin template model (3-dimensional template model) is utilized in surgical practice.
  • This template accurately replicates the auricle's morphology and essential structures.

Findings:

  • The 3-dimensional template model serves as an intraoperative reference for fabricating the 3-dimensional cartilage frame.
  • It assists in surgical simulation, skin flap adjustment, and preventing fabrication errors.

Implications:
