The Importance of a Conchal Bowl Element in the Fabrication of a Three-Dimensional Framework in Total Auricular Reconstruction
A 49-year-old man presented with small concha type microtiaA three-dimensional costal cartilage framework was fabricated, in which a one-block conchal bowl element was attached to the main frame. The reconstructed auricle 13 months after the operation showed a definite crus helicis, a conchal space with deep cymba, and a natural helical curve (). Its aesthetic score was recorded as 9 points.
