title: [Treatment of the deformed ear and jaw].
abstract: Lengthening of the mandible by gradual distraction and ear reconstruction using tissue expanders were performed on nine young patients (6-11 years old) with unilateral hemifacial microsomia. The technique holds promise for reconstruction of ear and mandible at the same time. This is essentially a pilot clinical project. A late follow-up of these patients is necessary.
