OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility of Brent I methods for total auricular reconstruction when expanded flap ulceration happened.
METHODSThe expanded flaps in the retroauricular region ulcerated during total auricular reconstruction in 8 patients with microtia. Then the expanders were removed and autologous rib cartilage frameworks were implanted. Brent I techniques for the total auricular reconstruction were employed.
RESULTSAll the wounds in 8 patients with microtia healed primarily. The expanded flaps survived completely. The reconstructed ears had good shape and appearance with little hair. The size, shape and position of reconstructed ears were coordinated with the face.
CONCLUSIONSBrent I technique is an alternative method for total auricular reconstruction when the expanded flap ulceration occurs during total ear reconstruction.
