[Procedure to follow in post-traumatic reimplantation of the external ear].

Cases of complete traumatic amputation of the auricle successfully treated by reimplantation are rare. The author used the Baudet technique: it consist of suppression of the skin cover of the posterior aspect of the mutilated fragment and creation through the cartilage of appropriately sized and arranged windows. This mutilated fragment is then sutured by its anterior edge to the remaining portion of the auricle and by its peripheral rim to a posteriorly based mastoid flap.
