Abstract:
We report the results of otoplasty for microtia in 497 ears of 229 patients treated between January 1971 and March 1995. More than 80% of the cases showed satisfactory outcome. Seventy-six ears underwent minor additional surgery. When cartilage exposure occurred because of skin necrosis we used a free skin graft or a pedicled flap or sutured closely.
