Abstract

Microtia reconstruction is a challenging yet rewarding procedure. Many techniques exist for reconstruction of congenital auricular deformities. Although autologous costal cartilage reconstruction has been around for many years, modifications upon these techniques with the goal to provide high quality results while minimizing the number of surgeries and surgical morbidity continue to be published. The Firmin techniques represent modifications based on the Brent and Nagata techniques and will be discussed here. Microtia reconstruction is a challenging yet rewarding procedure.
