The proposed operative technique with maternal auricular cartilage ear-donor) is modification of the method of M. Madzharov et al., for total and partial reconstruction of the auricle. The method includes the use of allogenic auricular cartilage and autogenic perichondrium (rib of auricular), attached to the cartilage with autogenic fibrin glue and/or sutured by nylon. The method is applied to 18 years old female patient with bilateral microtia III gr., for reconstruction of the left year. 2 years later, satisfying cosmetic result was encountered on the operated left ear and ear-donor. Briefly summarizing, auriculoplasty with maternal auricular cartilage is reliable method, especially in cases when cartilage of the ear-donor is strictly subperichondrially dissected and covered with autogenic rib of auricular perichondrium.
