Abstract
Microtia patients encountered over 9 years from 1978 to 1986 were listed. The total number of patients for the period was 155, 113 males and 42 females. The microtia occurred on the right side in 93 cases, on the left in 50 cases and bilaterally in 12 cases. Surgery was performed in 115 cases during the period. We applied a modification of the Brent method and have to date obtained good results. This method has several advantages: 1) Use of 7th and 8th rib cartilage means a relatively small amount of material, minimal surgical invasion and short operation time; 2) A more naturalistic auricle with clear grooves and ridges; 3) Preschool start completion of auricle reconstruction is possible, which contributes to the peace of mind of patient and parents.
