Abstract
A natural appearing ear with appropriate projection from the head remains a great challenge in the reconstruction of the ear. Surgical and prosthetic means have been addressed in the management of patients with microtia, with each carrying its own merits and demerits. Lack of adequate projection of the ear and adhesion of tissues are some common complications of reconstructive surgery that can adversely affect the treatment outcome. This article describes a technique for the fabrication of a postsurgical stent to prevent adhesion of the surgically reconstructed ear to the underlying tissues. This also enhances the projection of the ear from the head.
