ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the application of microsurgical technique in the replantation of amputated ear.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>7 cases of amputated ears were analyzed from June 2009 to April 2015 in our department. We used microsurgical technique to anastomose about five vessels and nerves. The blood supply of auricle was restored within three to six hours. All subjects underwent treatments including anti-freezing, anti-spasm and anti-infection treatment after the emergency surgery.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>7 amputated ears were all survived after replantation. The patients were followed up for one month to six months ( average for 28 months). The appearances of survived ears body were fully recovered without any significant atrophy or pigmentation. The sensory function of ears recovered to normal after 1 year.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The application of microsurgical technique in the replantation of amputated ear can expect the high success rate of ear replantation. However, skilled and high-quality anastomosis technique of small vascular are required.</p>
