title: Scalp graft for elevation of the reconstructed auricle.
abstract: Use of a split-thickness scalp graft for coverage of the retroauricular area after elevation of a reconstructed auricle is reported. Because there is no morbidity of the donor site and the color and texture match is excellent, the scalp can be an ideal donor site for coverage of the retroauricular area of the reconstructed auricle.
