    This study presents a modified single-stage total ear reconstruction using a well-vascularized skin flap for improved outcomes in anotia patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Anotia, the congenital absence of the ear, presents significant reconstructive challenges.
    • Existing total ear reconstruction methods have limitations in achieving natural aesthetics and function.
    • Understanding postauricular cutaneous circulation is crucial for flap viability in ear reconstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a modified single-stage total ear reconstruction technique.
    • To utilize a superthin, well-vascularized, and well-innervated skin flap for anterior auricular coverage.
    • To describe improvements in auricular framework design and carving.

    Main Methods:

    • Anatomic studies of postauricular cutaneous circulation informed the surgical approach.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • A costal cartilage framework was carved and improved for auricular shape.
  • A large, superthin, well-vascularized skin flap covered the anterior framework.
  • Subcutaneous tissue and a skin graft were used for posterior framework coverage.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified technique was successfully applied in 15 cases of anotia.
    • All 15 cases demonstrated satisfactory aesthetic and functional results.
    • The use of a superthin, well-vascularized flap ensured good graft take and contour.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified single-stage total ear reconstruction offers a reliable solution for anotia.
    • Improvements in framework design and flap selection enhance reconstructive outcomes.
    • This technique provides a viable option for achieving satisfactory total ear reconstruction.
