Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Otolaryngology

Context:

  • Total auricular reconstruction is a complex procedure often involving tissue expansion.
  • Flap ulceration during tissue expansion presents a significant challenge in auricular reconstruction.
  • Microtia requires specialized surgical approaches for ear reconstruction.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of the Brent I technique for total auricular reconstruction following expanded flap ulceration.
  • To assess the outcomes of using Brent I techniques in patients with microtia and prior flap complications.

Summary:

  • Eight patients with microtia underwent total auricular reconstruction using Brent I techniques after their expanded retroauricular flaps ulcerated.
  • Expanders were removed, and autologous rib cartilage frameworks were implanted.
  • All patients achieved primary wound healing, complete flap survival, and satisfactory aesthetic results with well-proportioned reconstructed ears.

Impact:

  • The Brent I technique provides a successful alternative for total ear reconstruction when flap complications arise.
  • This approach can lead to excellent aesthetic and functional outcomes in challenging microtia cases.
  • Demonstrates the adaptability of established reconstructive techniques to overcome intraoperative complications.
