A simplified technique for preparing, under a vacuum, a polyurethane lining for a facial prosthesis is described. A previously presented technique strengthened the prosthesis and allowed it to be attached with a water-based adhesive. This technique eliminates wrinkling, simplifies bonding, allows multiple linings to be made at the same time, conserves time and cost, and improves predictability of the results.
The use of full-thickness postauricular skin grafts for vestibular reconstruction is described. The procedure offers the advantages of a concealed donor scar, minimal patient discomfort and morbidity, ease of procurement, and confinement of the operations to a single region. Its use in 17 patients (31 grafts) resulted in complete take in 90.3% of the grafts. Maintenance of vestibular depth in most patients was maintained at 1-year follow-up. The disadvantages of the procedure are the limited amount of skin available and the need to suture the graft to the recipient site.
