Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Biomaterials in medicine

Context:

  • Burn injuries frequently cause significant external ear defects.
  • Existing reconstructive techniques may have limitations in terms of aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of combining an expanded postauricular scar flap with a Medpor framework for reconstructing burn-injured external ears.
  • To assess the reliability and outcomes of this combined approach in adult patients.

Summary:

  • The study involved 17 adult patients with ear defects due to burns who underwent reconstruction using an expanded postauricular scar flap and a Medpor framework.
  • Fifteen of the 17 cases were successful, with satisfactory long-term results up to three years.
  • Two cases had partial framework exposure, attributed to inadequate flap coverage and subsequent injury.
