Abstract:
This paper presents the fifth reported case of replantation of a traumatically amputated ear and its management. The ear was amputated in an automobile accident and was revascularized microsurgically. Replantation, when possible, offers the ultimate result; however, shortcomings include the length of operation, prolonged hospitalization, and postoperative management of venous congestion.
