Abstract
- Autologous ear construction for microtia creates an auricle using a costal cartilage framework. To separate the construct from the mastoid, the most common methods incorporate the use of fascial flaps or skin grafting. The authors describe a V-Y skin and subcutaneous scalp advancement flap for ear elevation as part of autologous ear construction for microtia. The method is simple and reliable and offers advantages compared to other techniques.
