Abstract

The present investigation was carried out in patients with microtia, which is a congenital malformation of the external ear, that can vary both in severity, size, and morphology. Thus, through a descriptive study with a research subtype that was observational, retrospective, longitudinal, descriptive explanatory, a case of study related to patients diagnosed with microtia was carried out. According to the results found in the review of medical records, the gender with the greatest predisposition to present microtia is the male sex, the ages that most frequently attended for atrial reconstruction are the school age between 6 and 12 years. It was also found that complications occurred in a lower percentage of patients and these were hematomas, bleeding from both the reconstructed area and the donor area, edge necrosis and suture dehiscence. The investigation concluded that microtia occurred in isolation in most patients and only 2 cases had a syndromic association. In addition, they maintained a very low frequency in terms of complications, observing that most of them had excellent aesthetic results in terms of atrial reconstruction.
