Abstract

Partial auricle amputation with preservation of the inferior pedicle is an unusual patho- logy. The reconstruction in these cases includes many surgical techniques. We present two cases of immediate replantation, without the use of microsurgery, with favorable outcomes and without need of new interventions. The revision of the literature supports this technique based in the preservation of the cutaneus bridge under the tragus that includes a branch of the superficial temporal artery that is responsible of the perfusion of the reimplant.
