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...

Managing the ear as a donor site for composite graft in nasal reconstruction: update on technical refinements and donor site morbidity in 110 cases.

30 Jul 2009 Reconstruction of multilayer defects of the lower nose, using composite grafts from the ear is a widespread technique. Little information exists about important aspects of managing the ear as a donor site for composite grafts. In a retrospective ... Read more...
