Abstract:
This paper reports our experience in total reconstruction of the ear using allogeneic auricular cartilage framework in 8 patients. The allogeneic auricular cartilage framework has natural appearance, and no carving or fabrication is needed. The cartilage treated with glutaraldehyde firmly adhered to its surrounding tissue of the host in a short time. Good results were observed in 6-month to 2-year follow-up, and no complications such as rejection, distortion and absorption occurred.
