Auricle reconstruction with autologous costal cartilage versus polyethylene implants in microtia patients: a meta-analysis
There is no statistically significant difference in postoperative complications such as infection, hematoma, skin necrosis, and hypertrophic scars between auricle reconstructions using autologous costal cartilage and those using polyethylene implants. However, reconstructions with polyethylene implants show a significantly higher rate of framework exposure.
