Abstract: This paper provides a detailed case study of Stage II auriculoplasty using the Nagata technique on a patient with grade III dextral microtia. The paper describes the patient's clinical history, including the initial diagnosis and surgical procedures, which included auriculoplasty and the use of costal cartilage for ear reconstruction. The patient's physical status was classified as ASA I during the pre-operative assessment, indicating that general anesthesia was appropriate. The intraoperative examination results verified the presence of microtia dextra grade III. The report emphasizes the importance of extensive pre-operative evaluations, as well as the Nagata technique's efficacy in improving functional and cosmetic outcomes in patients with congenital auricular abnormalities.
