title: [Ear reconstruction in case of microtia].
abstract: Microtia is a uncommon pathology that is defined by a hypoplasia of the pinna. Multiple reconstructives surgeries have been developed. Nowadays, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and Medpor implant reconstruction are the most widely used techniques. The authors present these two alternatives that significantly improve the quality of life of young patients with this visible abnormality.
