In ear reconstruction, the difficulty lies in reestablishing the ear’s bionic form with adequate skin coverage and an appropriate framework. Skin expansion and a porous polyethylene (i.e., Medpor) framework are often used for ear reconstruction.

However, a long-term review of the combined application of the expanded skin and Medpor framework has not been reported.

This article reviews ear reconstruction combining these two factors over the past 20 years in the authors’ center to summarize the surgical technique and analyze the postoperative results and complications.

A retrospective review was performed that included all patients who underwent ear reconstruction with expanded skin and Medpor framework in the authors’ center between 1998 and 2018.
