| Popis: | Ear reconstruction with full-thickness skin grafts can be a challenging task for plastic surgeons. It is often necessary to remove the underlying cartilage with the skin lesion and the resultant defect may be deeply concave. We present a short clinical report to describe an improved technique that we find useful in reducing the diameter and depth of anterior pinna contour defects, in improving graft take, and in reducing the size of the donor-site scar. |
