Reconstruction of the auricle

Between 1976 and 2002, 272 ear reconstructions were performed in our unit using the methods of Tanzer (n=38), Brent (n=156) and Nagata (n=78). We present this experience and our modifications of these methods, and describe our current practice. Copyright 2002 The British Association of Plastic Surgeons. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
