Abstract:
Autologous costal cartilage is the best material for auricle reconstruction due to its superior biomechanical properties and histocompatibility. However, costal cartilage harvest inevitably lead to the damage of the donor site. By conducting a comprehensive search for relevant literatures, the authors reviewed the donor site complications of autologous costal cartilage ear reconstruction, including thoracic deformity, pneumothorax, scar and pain, as well as the corresponding prevention and treatment methods, hoping to provide reference for the clinical application of autologous costal cartilage ear reconstruction.
