Abstract: | A simplified technique of harvesting of the ear cartilage graft is described which (1) uses a postauricular incision to minimize the visible scars, (2) removes the whole floor of the conchal fossa to avoid the irregularities, and (3) uses a tie-over dressing to eliminate the need for a head dressing. This technique has been used on 88 patients with one visible and tender medial irregularity, and three minor palpable, but invisible irregularities. |
