Abstract:
As for the treatment of microtia, the status quo is as follows. The ear reconstruction with autologous costal cartilage has been generally accepted as the therapeutic strategy for type Ⅲ/Ⅳ patients with only small ear lobe remaining or complete absence of auricle, and the outcomes are improved steadily with the advances in technology; but for type Ⅰ/Ⅱ patients with larger remnant ear, there is insufficient evidence to be able to support any specific treatment methods as the potential unified approach for surgeons to choose from. Non-surgical treatment with appliance wearing may play an auxiliary role in the treatment of microtia, which is worthy of further research. The authors proposed a serialized treatment system based on their clinical practice and literature review. It is expected to be helpful for the treatment of microtia.
