Salvage of a cartilage framework exposure in total ear reconstruction using a retro-auricular fascia flap with double axial irrigation

JPRAS Open, 2018
Summary: Cartilage framework exposure during total ear reconstruction requires an early salvage procedure and a secure coverage. We present a case that has been successfully covered by a retro-auricular fascia flap and a skin graft.

Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

Bilateral auriclar and external ear canal cartilage calcification

Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 2022
Calcification of auricular cartilage is a rare condition. This phenomenon might be associated with frostbite, local trauma, inflammation, or systemic diseases. Calcification that progresses to the external ear canal cartilage is even rarer. We present an extremely rare case of bilateral auricular and external ear canal cartilage calcification in a ...
