title: The use of composite auricular grafts in nasal reconstruction.
abstract: Composite auricular grafts are extremely valuable in head and neck reconstruction. They are most commonly used in reconstruction of the ear, eyelid, and nose. Composite grafting provides a relatively simple technique of reconstruction with excellent cosmetic and functional results. The advantage of a one-stage reconstruction is particularly valuable to the patient.
