    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Regenerative Medicine

    Background:

    • Auricular reconstruction for conchal-type microtia presents significant challenges.
    • Autogenous rib cartilage is the standard for framework fabrication, requiring a healthy skin envelope.
    • Successful ear reconstruction depends on both the cartilaginous framework and skin coverage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and evaluate a new surgical incision for auricular reconstruction.
    • To enhance aesthetic outcomes in patients with conchal-type microtia.
    • To minimize complications associated with ear reconstruction procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective study of 33 patients undergoing auricular reconstruction with a new skin flap incision (2017-2022).

  • Inclusion criteria encompassed various etiologies of concha-type microtia, including congenital, traumatic, and burn deformities.
  • Detailed recording of clinical data, surgical techniques, and postoperative care was performed.

    • Main Results:

    • The study included 33 patients (21 male, 12 female) with a mean age of 21.51 years.
    • Microtia presentations included unilateral, bilateral, traumatic, burn, and congenital cases.
    • A mean follow-up of 17.43 months revealed good initial projection, minimal anterior scarring, and a low overall complication rate of 5.42%.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel surgical incision technique significantly improves the aesthetic results of auricular reconstruction.
    • This approach does not introduce additional surgical risks.
    • The proposed incision is a valuable advancement for ear reconstruction in conchal-type microtia.
