Correction of cryptotia using tissue expansion.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery 1988 Vol.81(4) p. 601-4

Mutimer KL, Mulliken JB

Abstract

The anatomy and surgical correction of cryptotia are reviewed. Another technical procedure using retroauricular tissue expansion is presented. This method allows release of the auricle and construction of the auriculocephalic sulcus without the problems associated with older soft-tissue techniques, e.g., incomplete correction, multiple scars, poor color match of skin grafts, and donor-site morbidity.
