OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possibility of external ear reconstruction using expanded postauricular scar flap and Medpor framework in burn cases.
METHODS: External ear reconstruction using expanded postauricular scar flap in combination with Medpor framework was performed in 17 cases whose ear had burn injury.
RESULTS: Of the 17 cases, 15 cases achieved success; 2 cases experienced partial exposure of the framework due to inadequate wrapping of the subcutaneous fascia flap and later injury. The longest follow-up was three years, and the final result was satisfactory.
CONCLUSIONS: External ear reconstruction using expanded postauricular scar flap in combination with Medpor framework is a reliable method for adult (over 25 years) who has ear defect from burn injury.
