Healing of auricular cartilage after surgery and trauma, Molecular biology of invasion of the cartilage by malignancies,Įffect of surgical intervention and trauma on the cartilage, Pathophysiology of infective chondritis and perichondritis,

Response of auricular cartilage to relapsing polychondritis as the most common autoimmune disorder affects the auricular cartilage, Microarchitecture of the auricular cartilage and applied physiological aspect of the chondrocyte and matrix, It is not a pure clinical chapter only related points that can be applied to the clinical practice are discussed.īased on the abovementioned perspectives, the reader of this chapter is expected to acquire detailed knowledge about: The chapter aims to know how basic physiology, pathology, biomechanics and biochemists of the auricular cartilage can be applied to the clinical perspectives. In this chapter, précised, focused and between lines pieces of information will be mentioned, but old and repeated ones will not. Moreover, healthy cartilage of the auricle is a plentiful source of cartilage for reconstruction of the nose, skull base and facial defects.Ĭonsequently, comprehensive knowledge about recent advances in literature about basic science of this critical piece of cartilage is of paramount importance. In addition, auricular cartilage is vulnerable to many congenital and acquired diseases that require cartilage replacement or excision this has opened the door for many advances in tissue engineering to happen. Degrees of inclination and angles at its attachment to the skull determine the shape of the head and the auditory function especially the ability to localize the direction of sound. Both functions rely primarily on the biomechanical nature of the cartilage. In this chapter, the practical aspects of the applied basic surgical science of the auricular cartilage are discussed on an evidence-based level according to the most recent researches in the literature.Įar pinna (auricle) is an extremely important organ not only for the facial aesthesis but also plays a major role in hearing physiology.
