Abstract: | Two successful cases of replantation of part of an ear are presented; both were done by simple suture. The larger of these replants consisted of a 13 x 43 mm segment of the superior helix and concha. Both were vascularized beofre 48 hours. The greatest problem was venous congestion. In the larger replant we made multiple puncture wounds daily on both sides of the graft with an 18-gauge needle to help relieve this. |
