ABSTRACT
Auricular reconstruction is a challenging, mostly multistaged procedure that requires many different techniques. Whereas standard techniques have been developed for the standard severe, third-degree dysplasia, we are often confronted with severely scarred patients due to excess trauma or prior operations. These special situations need a variety of special techniques; some of those are described here to be considered as alternative options.
