Generating ears from cultured autologous auricular chondrocytes by using two-stage implantation in treatment of microtia.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Microtia is a congenital ear hypoplasia associated with auricular defects. Conventional treatment involves implanted costal cartilage. The impact of surgical invasion and donor-site morbidity can be particularly severe in pediatric ... Read more...

Prosthetic rehabilitation of intentionally malpositioned implants in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the external auditory canal: a clinical report.

30 Jul 2009 This clinical report describes the rehabilitation of a patient with a compromised temporal bone anatomy caused by resection of bone due to squamous cell carcinoma of external auditory canal. Tumor resection was followed by placement of three ... Read more...

Reducing the incidence of ear deformity in facelift.

29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: The telltale signs associated with facelift procedures, including tightening of the lower face (lateral sweep), visible scars, a distorted hairline, and the "pixie ear" deformity are grounds for concern among both patients and aesthetic ... Read more...
