Abstract
An improved burying method for salvaging an amputated auricle is presented. We elevated a mastoid skin flap and a fascial flap simultaneously and inserted the denuded auricular cartilage between them. This procedure can maintain the auricular cartilage in a more natural form by eliminating undue skin tension and can give a favorable aesthetic result.
