Several choices of reconstructive surgical procedure have been introduced for amputated auricle until now. Modified pocket method is known as the one of techniques useful for a patient whose auricle was amputated with severe contamination. We report two cases of auricular reconstruction using modified pocket method in traumatic auricular amputation with a review of literatures.
