Abstract
Microtia techniques have evolved to improve aesthetic outcomes, reduce donor site morbidities, and reduce complications. Patients with microtia commonly have aural atresia associated with conductive hearing loss. We present the evolution of our technique for microtia reconstruction and considerations for hearing management in these patients. Keywords: Microtia, aural atresia, autologous rib reconstruction, contemporary management.
