“…It consists of insertion of an autologous cartilagenous framework into a skin pocket, transposition (April-June 2010) 62(2):162-167 of the lobule, construction of the tragus and construction of a retroauricular sulcus. Nagata's technique [7][8][9][10] is only a two stage technique consisting of transposing the lobule of the auricle during the first stage and reconstruction of the complete framework including the tragus putting it into a skin pocket, and then the lobule was transposed. This stage corresponds to the three first stages of Brent's technique.…”

The aim of the paper is to report our experience of 60 ear reconstructions to correct the microtia with surgical technique. Autogenous rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the affected ear. Cartilage resorption was found in 10% of the cases, distortion and fusion of pinna in 20% of the cases and infection was found around 8% of the cases. Most of the patients were satisfied with the final result.

“…For auricle reconstruction, we used the most common method, based on the technique of Nagata [3], namely creating a new pinna from autogenous rib cartilage. In the first step, the newly created cartilage framework is transplanted under the skin of the mastoid plane.…”

Classic microtia is combined with external ear canal atresia and middle ear malformation. In order to evaluate whether an operation to improve hearing ability and the use of computer-assisted surgery are indicated, preoperative high-resolution navigation CT is mandatory. We combined atresia surgery and tympanoplasty with auricular reconstruction in the case of an 8-year-old boy with bilateral microtia, aural atresia and malformation of the middle ear. After creating an auricle framework with rib cartilage and transplanting it under the skin of the mastoid plane, we shifted it forward in the second step, and the new auditory canal was drilled under computer-assisted navigation and facial nerve monitoring. In the same operation, tympanoplasty was accomplished, and a silastic cylinder, wrapped into pieces of rib cartilage, was inserted into the constructed canal and removed 2 months later. For lining the new auditory canal, we used the patient’s prepuce, harvested by elective circumcision.

“…Many authors [1][2][3][4][5] have improved the technique and excellent clinical and aesthetic results have been achieved in terms of shape, size, and contour of the auricle. Currently, Nagata's two-stage method for auricular reconstruction is widely used [3]. In the first stage, the carved costal cartilage framework is implanted in the skin flap pocket, and additional costal cartilage is ''banked'' in subcutaneous space to be used as support material.…”
