Abstract

Described herein is an innovative, minimally-invasive technique to harvest temporoparietal fascia flap used in implant-based ear reconstruction for children with microtia. This technique utilizes a never previously described application of intra-operative Indocyanine Green Angiography to optimize flap viability and minimizing the risk of facial nerve injury. Laryngoscope, 133:3615-3618, 2023.

Keywords: ear; indocyanine green; microtia; pediatric; porous polyethylene; temporoparietal fascia flap.
