Ear Temporarily Reattached in Abdomen After Bite
Mark Webb 42, night supervisor at Cosmopolitan Textile Rental Service, had his right ear bitten off in a fight with a former employee. Doctors at University of Chicago Hospitals grafted the ear into Webb’s abdomen to preserve cartilage before a planned reattachment to the head. The procedure, described as banking the cartilage, aims to prevent tissue death and could allow discharge in about 10 days.
