Silicone prostheses require constant repair and refabrication. Auricular prostheses retained with implants have better retention than adhesive-retained prostheses. However, refabrication is complicated if the patient is unwilling to surrender the metallic framework attached to the implants and revert to the use of adhesives. This article describes a technique by which the metal framework of the existing prosthesis need not be removed, thereby improving the patient's quality of life until the new prosthesis is delivered.
硅胶假体需要不断修复和重新制作。植入式耳假体的固位效果优于粘贴式耳假体。然而，如果患者不愿意舍弃与植入物相连的金属框架而恢复使用粘贴法，重新制作就会变得复杂。本文介绍了一种技术，利用该技术无需移除现有假体的金属框架，从而在新假体交付之前提高患者的生活质量。
