ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the method of auricular reconstruction for concha-type microtia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two-staged auricular reconstruction was applied in 13 cases (14 ears) with concha-type microtia. The cartilage auricular framework was fabricated and implanted in the first stage, followed by ear elevation and cranio-auricle angle formation at the second stage.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The patients were followed up for 2 months to 2 years with satisfactory aesthetic result. The reconstructed ears had a good appearance and position, and were symmetric to the healthy ears.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The two-staged auricular reconstruction with autologous cartilage framework is ideal for concha-type microtia.</p>
