Three cases of successful microvascular ear replantation after bite avulsion injury

Abstract

We present three cases of sub‐total amputation of the external ear caused by bite avulsion injury. The ears were all successfully replanted despite us being unable to perform a venous anastomosis in one case. These outcomes support attempted microsurgical replantation for total or sub‐total amputations of the ear, as successful replantation is the most effective surgical option.
