Bilateral microtia reconstruction
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2010Ear reconstruction for congenital microtia is a challenge for the plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Ten percent of microtia cases are bilateral. However, the published literature contains relatively little information about auricular reconstruction in bilateral microtia. Some authorities prefer to reconstruct each side at different stages.

Hemipalatal Palsy and Microtia
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1983Unilateral microtia is not a separate entity but rather a part of the syndrome of hemifacial microsomia. To document the high incidence of hemipalatal palsy among microtia patients, 19 patients with unilateral microtia are reviewed. Partial innervation of the levator veli palatini muscle by the VII cranial nerve, and origin of this muscle from the ...

Microtia (MIM600674) is a congenital malformation which occurs in 1/8000-10000 births. It is characterized by a small, and abnormally shaped pinna. It ranges in severity from a bump of tissue to a partially formed ear cup. Microtia is often associated with atresia of the external auditory canal.

Embryology and Epidemiology of Microtia
Facial Plastic Surgery, 2009The auricle derives from six hillocks arising from the first and second branchial arches. Different hillocks give rise to different parts of the pinna. In the course of embryonic development, the auricle migrates postero-cranially as the mandible enlarges.

Aesthetic surgery for microtia
Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 1989We describe here a technique for reconstruction of the external ear based upon an autogenous costal cartilage graft which is inserted into a cutaneous pocket dissected in the auricular area. Three subsequent procedures are then performed: rotation of the ear-lobe; reconstruction of the tragus; and elevation of the auricle.

Microtia reconstruction: an update
Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2003Reconstruction of the microtic ear remains one of the most challenging procedures encountered by the reconstructive surgeon. The use of autogenous rib cartilage continues to be the gold standard for microtia repair. Numerous refinements and modifications in the original technique described by Tanzer have paved the way for exceptional results in ...

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2012
ObjectiveReconstruction of microtia is a challenging issue in otology and reconstruction surgery. Autogenous costochondral reconstruction is the most widely accepted approach; however, it is time‐consuming and has some limitations. Irradiated homograft costal cartilage has been proposed as a suitable alternative. In this study we present our experience

Auricular Prostheses in Microtia
Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America, 2018The progress made in the development of the silicones and percutaneous titanium implants allow for rehabilitation of patients with microtia with an inconspicuous auricular prosthesis. The art of making the prosthesis by the dedicated anaplastologist is the key for the success of this approach. Most patients with microtia desire camouflage. The greatest

Advances in the treatment of microtia
Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2006Creating the fine details of the ear in a patient with a congenital absent ear is extremely challenging. Each component of the multidisciplinary team that manages the ear reconstruction, hearing restoration, and associated craniofacial anomalies of these patients has seen recent progress.Population studies have provided new insights into the etiology ...
