This article presents the novel method of training of creating cartilage framework for total ear reconstruction in microtia. Replica of costal cartilage harvested for real surgery was simulated by silicon dental impression material. Carving of framework was done with wood carving instruments. Silicon dental impression material gives the consistency and texture almost comparable to real costal cartilage. Sequential steps similar to actual surgery were simulated to create the three-dimensional framework.By using this novel technique, novice surgeons can practice creating ear framework and improvise their results in the actual surgery.
本文介绍了一种用于小耳畸形全耳再造中创建软骨框架的新型训练方法。使用硅橡胶牙科印模材料模拟实际手术中采集的肋软骨复制品。用木雕工具雕刻框架。硅橡胶牙科印模材料的稠度和质地几乎与真实肋软骨相当。模拟与实际手术相似的连续步骤来创建三维框架。通过使用这种新技术，新手外科医生可以练习创建耳框架并在实际手术中改进其效果。
