Abstract EN

We present a method to create a tragus using the patient’s conchal cartilage.

It is a simplified, single-stage technique with well-hidden incisions, yet it maintains the rigidity of a natural tragus.

This patient did not have a history of radiation to the area, which may compromise healing with this technique.

The cosmetic importance of the tragus has been described, but its functionality in accommodating modern technology has not been previously discussed.

The main treatment goal for this patient was to gain the ability to wear earphones (clinical question/level of evidence: therapeutic, V).
