Staged, laminated, costal cartilage framework for ear reconstruction. [Journal Article, Review]
Clin Plast Surg 1990 Apr; 17(2):273-85.
Two features of greatest importance in achieving a normal appearance in the reconstruction of an ear with microtia are that a conchal component with sufficient size, shape, and depth is present; and that auricular projection, sufficient in degree to show contours that appear normal from a posterior view, is present. The authors describe the construction of a staged, laminated framework that helps achieve these goals.
