Objective: To find out a better technique of auricular reconstruction with Medpor framework for children to obtain better appearance of the reconstructed ear.Methods: The reconstructed ear was implanted by Medpor framework
which was covered by temporal superfacial fascia flap with superfacial temporal arteria.Skin flap of leftover ear covered rear of reconstructed ear
full thick skin graft covered one of obverse side
and infra-leftover ear was modified as auricularlobule.Results: Postoperative follow-up was as long as 24 months.All 12 patients obtained better appearance of the reconstructed ears than those of the operation in earlier period.Conclusion: The modified auricular reconstruction would be a better choice for the children with congenital lack of auricle or hypoplasia of auricle.
