[The reconstruction of the conchae auriculae in congenital and acquired defects in children].
The article is concerned with the method of reconstruction of auricles in 53 patients aged from 6 to 15 years. Before 1994 the reconstructing operations were performed by the N. I. Iarchuk method (19 patients) while during the recent 5 years the E. Joganic method has been used (34 patients). Using the total autocostal cartilage for the formation of the external ear basis is thought by the authors to be the preferable method as compared with the transplantation of the allogenic tissues.
