This study details the fifth reported case of ear replantation after traumatic amputation. Microsurgical revascularization achieved the best outcome, despite challenges in surgery duration and recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive surgery
  • Microsurgery
  • Trauma management

Background:

  • Traumatic ear amputation is rare.
  • Replantation offers superior aesthetic and functional outcomes compared to other methods.
  • Microsurgical techniques are crucial for successful revascularization.

Observation:

  • Presents the fifth reported case of traumatic ear replantation.
  • The ear was amputated in an automobile accident.
  • Successful microsurgical revascularization was performed.

Findings:

  • Replantation provides the optimal result for traumatically amputated ears.
  • Challenges include extended operative time, prolonged hospitalization, and managing venous congestion.
  • Microsurgical expertise is essential for successful revascularization and patient recovery.
