Prosthetic rehabilitation of auricular defects can be a demanding procedure due to a broad variety of clinical presentations and a wide array of treatment options. The retention of auricular prostheses is a major factor influencing the successful outcome of rehabilitative treatment following cancer surgery or trauma. Auricular prostheses have been retained by methods including implants, adhesives and spectacle frames but the choice of repair ultimately depends on patient factors, amount of soft tissue loss, and location of the auricular defect. This article describes a newer technique of using resin template for silicone auricular prosthesis, for better retention and orientation. Moreover it is cost effective and aesthetically acceptable for patients who decline or need to postpone implant retained prosthesis reconstruction.
由于耳缺损的临床表现多种多样且治疗选择广泛，耳缺损的修复重建可能是一项具有挑战性的手术。耳假体的固位是影响癌症手术后或创伤后修复治疗成功结果的一个主要因素。耳假体的固位方法包括植入物、粘合剂和眼镜架等，但最终的修复选择取决于患者因素、软组织损失量以及耳缺损的位置。本文介绍了一种使用树脂模板制作硅胶耳假体的新技术，以实现更好的固位和定位。此外，对于拒绝或需要推迟植入式固位假体重建的患者，该技术具有成本效益且美观性可接受。
