Abstract

Microtia techniques have evolved to improve esthetic outcomes, reduce donor site morbidities, and reduce complications. Patients with microtia commonly have aural atresia associated with conductive hearing loss. We present the evolution of our technique for microtia reconstruction and considerations for hearing management in these patients.
