Abstract：Objective To compare and summarize the occurrence of postoperative complications between the skin soft tissueexpansion method and the modified Brent method in auricular reconstruction.Methods Patients were divided into 2 groups according to surgical method,with 162 cases in the skin soft tissue-expansion method group and 127 cases in the modified Brent method group.The clinical data between the two groups were statistically analyzed.Results The incidence rate of postoperative complications in patients who underwent the skin soft tissue-expansion method was significantly higher than that in the modified Brent method (P＜0.05).Among these complications,the framework exposure rate of the soft tissue-expansion method was much higher than that of the modified Brent method (P＜0.05).Conclusion (1) Compared with the modified Brent method,the occurrence rate of postoperative complications was higherin the soft tissue-expansion method;(2) The skin soft tissue-expansion method was more suitable for patients who could not accept scars after skin-grafting.
