Bilateral Costal Cartilage Harvest for Auricle Reconstruction: A New Technique to Prevent Postoperative Thoracic Deformity

Unilateral costal cartilage harvesting (UCCH) for auricle reconstruction in children tends to cause thoracic deformities. Therefore, our study aimed to develop a novel bilateral costal cartilage harvesting (BCCH) method to prevent and reduce thoracic deformities.
