[New way of elimination of total and subtotal defects of auricle]

Today the most often used method - many stage otoplasty method with the use of auto- and allocartilage, the basic positions of which were formulated in 60-70 years. The use of temporoparietal arterialized fascial flap let to improve considerably aesthetic results of the operations and shorten the terms of treatment. Suggested way of elimination of auricle defect differs in that that as framework we use silicone implant repeating the form and relief of auricle and temporoparietal fascial flap is cut out according to the auricle form with the correlation of temporoparietal fascial flap and silicone implant as 1.5-2.5:1; the temporoparietal fascial flap is formed in such a way that its upper-back part covers the front and back implant surfaces. The use of silicone implant as auricle framework (due to its elasticity, strength, inertness and biocompatibility) promotes the achieved result preservation and allow patient to sleep on the side of the formed auricle, its blood supply is not affected.
