Prominent ear deformities often result from a combination of hypertrophic conchal cartilage and an underdeveloped antihelical fold. Traditional otoplasty techniques, such as antihelical folding sutures and conchal setback maneuvers, may introduce tension and risk of relapse, leading to suboptimal aesthetic outcomes. The PILLARS CONCEPT: represents an alternative surgical approach specifically designed to address hypertrophic concha, ensuring stable and natural results.

Backgound: The positioning of the reconstructed ear in ear reconstruction is a crucial step that directly affects the surgical outcome.This study employs the residual ear tissue as a reference, in conjunction with three-dimensional(3D)printing model of the normal ear's mirror image corresponding to the microtia ear, to facilitate precise positioning during the reconstruction of the ear.
Methods: This study established a 3D model group and a control group.

Background: Composite rhinectomy defects pose significant challenges due to the nose's complex structure and role in facial esthetics and function. Traditional nasal reconstructions often require multiple stages to restore mucosal lining, structural support, and external skin.
Methods: This case series examines the use of a single-stage osteocutaneous radial forearm free flap (OCRFFF) for composite rhinectomy reconstruction.

Relative to other regions of the body, the ear has a high risk of developing cutaneous malignancies that often necessitate Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for removal. This procedure can create defects that are immediately noticeable if left untreated. Reconstructive techniques are often needed to restore the appearance of the affected ear and its symmetrical relationship to the contralateral ear.

Background: Microtia is a common congenital craniofacial malformation, with concha-type microtia presenting unique challenges due to the relatively large residual auricle tissue and flexible surgical methods. The authors employed triangular flaps combined with full-thickness skin graft technique for treating concha-type microtia, achieving marked treatment effects.
Method: Thirty-five patients with unilateral concha-type microtia were enrolled in this study from January 2023 to June 2024.
