Costal Cartilage Graft

Microtia may occur as an isolated finding or in conjunction with other associated anomalies or a genetic syndrome. Ear reconstruction for these patients is typically performed no earlier than 6 years of age. In this chapter, a staged autogenous method of ear reconstruction is described using costal cartilage. In the first stage, a costal cartilage graft is harvested and placed. The next stages involve lobule transposition, detachment of the auricle with placement of a posterior skin graft, and further refinement of the external ear landmarks with tragus creation and definition of the conchal bowl and ear canal.

Objectives: Ear deformity caused by burns is one of the most difficult types of deformity to treat with plastic surgery, and the reconstruction of burned ears undoubtedly remains a substantial challenge. This study aims to report the therapeutic regime of using a superficial temporal fascial flap to cover the framework in burned ear reconstruction. Methods: Autologous costal cartilage was used to form the ear framework in all of the reconstruction cases. A superficial temporal fascial flap was used as soft tissue to cover the ear scaffold. Results: Five patients with 6 ears were included in our study. The external ear healed well and the location, size, and shape of both ears were generally symmetrical. No complication was observed in any of the patients. Conclusions: The superficial temporal fascial flap is a good choice for covering the autogenous cartilage framework when treating ear deformities after burns.

Abstract Autologous ear reconstruction is the preferred treatment in case of partial or total absence of the external ear. The surgery can be very challenging to perform and the aesthetic result highly dependent on the surgeon’s “artistic skills”. In this context a preoperative planning and simulation phase based on the patient’s specific anatomy may result crucial for the surgical outcome. In this work, starting from a case study, the elements necessary for an effective simulation are identified and a strategy for their interactive design and customization is devised with a perspective of a semi-automatization of the procedure.

Mosaic Trisomy

A microtia, or small or abnormally formed pinna, is an uncommon congenital abnormality of the external ear which can present as an isolated defect or as part of an underlying clinical syndrome. External ear reconstruction is a possibility, with either an autologous or non-autologous framework. The Nagata type of autologous reconstruction is a multistage process whereby costal cartilage, temporoparietal fascia, and a full thickness skin graft are used to form a new pinna. Here, we present the unique case of a young female born with mosaic trisomy 22, an extremely rare genetic condition, and a right-sided microtia. Between the first and second stages of her reconstruction, an anterior chest wall deformation was observed, coupled with unusual dystrophic calcifications over the cartilage near the ribs and sternum.
