There are various obstacles to be overcome in total auricular reconstruction, such as the decision regarding ear position, creation of the skin envelope, handling of remnants, fabrication of a three-dimensional framework, perspective view for multistage operations, and others. The construction of a maximum relief framework is the most difficult of these problems. Preoperative rehearsal performed with an accurate costal cartilage model would therefore be advantageous for surgeons. In this study, we established a system for three-dimensional modeling of costal cartilage from preoperative computed tomographic data with reverse-engineering techniques. 1Costal cartilage modeling was performed for two cases. Using 64-slice multidetector-row computed tomographic scanning, axial slices at 1.0-mm intervals were used for modeling. Segmentation and volume rendering was performed with MIMICS 13.1 (Materialise Interactive Medical Image Control System; Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Because the computed tomographic value of costal cartilage is close to that of the surrounding tissues, automatic segmentation such as skin and bone 2, 3 is not possible. Therefore, in axial slices, segmentation was performed manually. These data were converted to stereolithographic data.
