This study reviews standard microtia repair techniques using autogenous rib cartilage and local skin. The presented method, used in over 800 cases, yields good and stable results for ear reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Microtia repair aims to reconstruct the ear's external appearance.
  • Standardized surgical techniques have evolved over decades.
  • Specialized centers frequently perform these complex procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a standard technique for microtia repair.
  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of this established method.
  • To highlight the use of autogenous rib cartilage and local skin.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a standard, multi-step surgical approach (2-4 operative steps).
  • Employing autogenous rib cartilage to create the ear framework.
  • Using local skin flaps for the ear's external covering (tegument).
