Complication Rate of Autologous Cartilage Microtia Reconstruction: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND Autologous cartilage has been widely accepted as the frame material of ear reconstruction for patients with microtia. Although rare, there are multiple complications related with the surgical reconstruction techniques. The authors performed a systematic review of the English literature of microtia reconstruction to determine significant surgical factors that are predictors of postope...
متن کاملAuricular reconstruction for microtia: A review of available methods.
Several surgical techniques have been described for auricular reconstruction. Autologous reconstruction using costal cartilage is the most widely accepted technique of microtia repair. However, other techniques have certain indications and should be discussed with patients and families when planning for an auricular reconstruction. In the present review, the authors discuss the main surgical te...
متن کاملA 2-stage ear reconstruction for microtia.
OBJECTIVE To introduce our 2-stage reconstruction of microtia method, which results in a natural-looking contour of the reconstructed ears, one of the most demanding challenges in facial plastic surgery. METHODS In the first stage, the 3-dimensional cartilage framework is fabricated. The skin flap and retroauricular fascial flap are elevated in the mastoid area. Then the framework is wrapped ...
متن کاملCartilage engineering using chondrocyte cell sheets and its application in reconstruction of microtia.
The imperfections of scaffold materials have hindered the clinical application of cartilage tissue engineering. The recently developed cell-sheet technique is adopted to engineer tissues without scaffold materials, thus is considered being potentially able to overcome the problems concerning the scaffold imperfections. This study constructed monolayer and bilayer chondrocyte cell sheets and har...
متن کاملNovel use of a delayed chondrofascial flap in microtia reconstruction.
OBJECTIVE To describe the novel use of a delayed chondrofascial flap to increase auricular projection in microtia reconstruction. METHODS Retrospective survey analysis. Ten consecutive children with unilateral microtia without other craniofacial abnormalities were followed up for a period ranging from 6 months to 5 years after microtia reconstruction was performed with the newly described del...
