Abstract:
Laceration and amputation of the auricle due to external injuries are common because of its location. Several choices of reconstructive surgical procedure have been introduced for amputated auricle until now. Modified pocket method is known as the one of techniques useful for a patient whose auricle was amputated with severe contamination. We report two cases of auricular reconstruction using modified pocket method in traumatic auricular amputation with a review of literatures.
