Abstract
To review the application progress of digital technology in auricle reconstruction. The recently published literature concerning the application of digital technology in auricle reconstruction was extensively consulted, the main technology and its specific application areas were reviewed. Application of digital technology represented by three-dimensional (3D) data acquisition, 3D reconstruction, and 3D printing is an important developing trend of auricle reconstruction. It can precisely guide auricle reconstruction through fabricating digital ear model, auricular guide plate, and costal cartilage imaging. Digital technology can improve effectiveness and decrease surgical trauma in auricle reconstruction. 3D bioprinting of ear cartilage future has bright prospect and needs to be further researched.
