Resumen
IWANYK, P. y IACOUZZI, S.. Innovation in congenital auricular anomaly reconstruction using expanded tissue and prosthetic material. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2007, vol.33, n.2, pp.123-128. ISSN 1989-2055.
Reconstruction of congenital auricular anomalies includes two essential challenges. The first one is to sculpt an auricular cartilaginous structure that matches the shape, size and projection of a standard ear. The second challenge arises from the scarcity of the usable skin in the area. Because of the difficulty of sculpting a proper cartilage framework and the scarce quantity of skin in the area, in 2005 we began in our hospital auricular reconstruction procedure combining tissue expanders and prosthetic materials achieving a natural appearance and an excellent result.
