ABSTRACT
BACKGROUNDS For patients with concha-type microtia, surgical intervention and the degree of deformity may affect the growth rate of the auricular cartilage, which is different at different ages. This study aimed to explore the auricular growth potential of patients with concha-type microtia at different ages after auricular cartilage stretching surgery.

METHODS:

A total of 66 patients with unilateral grade II and III concha-type microtia were involved in this prospective cohort study. All patients underwent auricular cartilage stretching surgery. Relevant data were collected before surgery, immediately after surgery, and at the last follow-up.

RESULTS:

The perimeter, width, and length of auricle, between each follow-up, was statistically significant, which supported the effect of surgery and auricular development. For patients in the grade II group, no statistical significance was found in the difference in the perimeter, width, and length between the affected and normal auricle. For the patients in the grade III group, the difference in the relevant indexes of the affected auricle was significantly different from those of the normal auricle. Between subgroups divided according to their age, the growth potential of affected auricle with the same degree of deformity was statistically significant.

CONCLUSIONS:

Growth potential of the affected auricle of the grade II group was consistent with that of the normal auricle, which was significantly higher than that of the grade III group. For patients at different ages, auricles grew faster before 3 years of age. Surgical intervention improved the auricular aesthetics and released the auricular growth potential. Thus, surgical intervention should be recommend as early as possible.
