Abstract (English):	Introduction: Traumatic auricular reconstruction is a challenge for the plastic surgeon. The purpose of this reconstruction is to reproduce and recreate the shape and topography of the auricular region, diminishing the typical stigmas of a reconstruction. Clinical Case Study: The case of a 5-year-old male patient with a dog bite on the right ear presenting a contused-incised wound in the auricular hall with loss of cutaneous cover, partial loss of atrial cartilage and cartilage exposure at the level of the helix and retroauricular portion. Auricular reconstruction is performed by atrial repair and retroauricular flap. In a second surgical time, a section of the base of the flap is performed, achieving a suitable auricular contour and definitive skin coverage. Conclusions: Auricular injuries, due to their anatomical situation, are frequent in the professional practice of a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. There are multiple surgical techniques for the reconstruction of auricular defects, however, the retroauricular flap offers a simple and versatile technique and medical residents in training can reproduce it.

Abstract (Spanish):	Introducción: La reconstrucción auricular traumática es un reto para el cirujano plástico. Su objetivo es reproducir y recrear la forma y topografía de la región auricular, haciendo que los estigmas propios de la reconstrucción sean mínimos. Caso clínico: Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 5 años de edad, con lesión por mordedura de perro en la oreja derecha, y lesión corto-contusa en pabellón auricular con pérdida de cobertura cutánea, pérdida parcial de cartílago auricular y exposición cartilaginosa a nivel de hélix y porción retroauricular. Se realizó reconstrucción auricular mediante reparación auricular y colgajo retroauricular. En un segundo tiempo quirúrgico, se realizó sección de la base del colgajo, y se logró un adecuado contorno auricular, así como cobertura cutánea definitiva. Conclusiones: Las lesiones auriculares, por su situación anatómica, son frecuentes en la práctica profesional de un cirujano plástico y reconstructivo. Existen múltiples técnicas quirúrgicas para la reconstrucción de defectos auriculares, sin embargo, el colgajo retroauricular ofrece una técnica sencilla y versátil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
