Novel technique for the repair of recurrent oronasal fistula using autologous auricular composite graft: Clinical outcomes from a case series
Auricular skin-cartilage composite grafting is a promising option for the management of recurrent oronasal fistulas. This technique provides reliable structural support and mucosal integration with minimal donor site complications. It may be considered as a first-line approach in selected refractory cases, although further studies are needed to confirm its long-term outcomes.
