Reattaching a human bite-avulsed ear (auricle) using the Baudet technique is feasible. This method offers a simpler alternative to microsurgery, yielding excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes with minimal cartilage loss.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Auricular reconstruction following traumatic avulsion presents significant challenges.
  • Human bites are a common cause of ear avulsion, often resulting in complex tissue damage.

Observation:

  • A case report details the successful re-implantation of a completely amputated auricle sustained from a human bite.
  • The Baudet technique was employed for the composite graft reattachment.

Findings:

  • The patient achieved a highly satisfactory aesthetic and functional result post-re-implantation.
  • Minimal cartilage resorption was observed, indicating good graft viability.

Implications:

  • The Baudet technique provides a viable, less complex alternative to microsurgical reattachment for amputated auricles.
