[Clinical efficacy of Nagata's techniques in auricular reconstruction for microtia].
To analyze the clinical efficacy of Nagata;s techniques in auricular reconstruction for microtia.



One hundred and seventeen patients (120 ears) with congenital microtia underwent auricular reconstruction mainly by Nagata;s techniques.



All patients were followed up for 6 m approximately 5 y (average 1 y) after surgery. The anatomic structure and appearance were satisfactory in all 120 reconstructed ears.



Nagata's technique for auricular reconstruction is suitable to Asian patients with few complications, few stages and excellent reconstructed structure.
