Abstract
The surgery of microtia is a procedure that demands surgical and artistic skills, as well as precise planning of interventions. In cases where a functioning inner ear is present, functional and esthetic reconstruction is performed jointly with ear, nose, and throat surgeons. The middle ear plasty is performed through a transmastoidial approach at the time of the second stage of the outer ear reconstruction. We demonstrate the special requirements of this team approach and also pay a tribute to Burt Brent, who has set the standards of modern ear reconstruction.Keywords
