From the abstract

Reconstruction with autologous costal cartilage remains the gold standard surgical treatment for total or partial ear reconstruction. The different auricular subunits are sculpted from costal cartilage and assembled. The assembly requires a particular skillset and training, including a thorough three-dimensional (3D) understanding of auricular anatomy.

Reported results

The accuracy for all measurements was within the limits of the requested margin of error for autologous ear reconstruction.

Authors' conclusions

The use of AR in Autologous Auricular Reconstruction was validated and appears to be feasible, precise, and useful. Challenging cases with complex facial asymmetry, such as hemifacial microsomia, will particularly benefit from this new development.
