- Abstract
All nine patients had one-stage surgery as described by Reinisch et al using porous polyethylene implant framework.2 All patients were discharged after surgery without hospitalisation. There were patients in both prosthetic group (five patients) and alloplastic group (one patient) that had prior autologous reconstruction at another centre. Since alloplastic ear reconstruction is not performed in Nijmegen, we recruited Dutch patients who travelled to Los Angeles for microtia surgery in order to minimise bias as much as possible by studying culturally similar patients. Assessment of cost and Health-Related quality of life following three different methods of microtia reconstruction in 30 patients.
