Abstract：Objective To report application of a localization method (Su’s localization method) for auricular recon-struction in patients with microtia. Methods The Su’s localization method was used in 893 microtia cases (the study group) and compared with 289 cases in which visual localization method was used (the control group). Anteroposterior and vertical position differences from the normal auricle were analyzed after six months. Results The anteroposterior and vertical posi-tion differences in the study group (0.55 ± 0.18 cm and 0.43 ± 0.15 cm respectively) were smaller than in the control group (0.71 ± 0.22 cm and 0.63 ± 0.19 cm respectively) (P<0.05). Conclusion The Su’s localization method is a preferable way in auricular reconstruction which improves the accuracy of location of the reconstruction auricle, and is worth broad adoption.
