Abstract
Plastic surgery for microtia requires 3 to 4 operations before it is completed and when combined with the surgical creation or reconstruction of the external auditory canal, additional operations are needed.
The purpose of this paper is to describe a 2 or 3 stage method for creation of the external auditory canal and tympanoplasty simultaneously for microtia.
The long-term results (3 years to 5 years after operation) of 18 cases are reported.
