Abstract
The aim of the paper is to report our experience of 60 ear reconstructions to correct the microtia with surgical technique. Autogenous rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the affected ear. Cartilage resorption was found in 10% of the cases, distortion and fusion of pinna in 20% of the cases and infection was found around 8% of the cases. Most of the patients were satisfied with the final result.Entities:
