ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effect and the key points in the operative procedure of the one-stage reconstruction of postburn whole auricle defect with medpor car scaffold covered with superficial temporoparietal fascia (TPF) flap.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Medpor car scaffold was embedded under the superficial temporal (TFP) fascia. Razor-thin skin was grafted onto the surface of the fascia flap.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Fifteen patients with postburn whole auricle defect were treated by one-stage reconstruction with Medpor ear scaffold during the last four years. It was successful in all the patients with satisfactory appearance of the reconstructed ears.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Medpor possessed friendly biological compatibility. The reconstruction gave satisfactory results, and its advantages consisted of short operational time, easy manipulation, less injury to patients and good auricular contour.</p>
