Forty\u2010three (51.8%) were AAFPRS members, 39 (47.0%) were ASPO members, and 1 (1.2%) reported dual membership. Respondents had multiple practice settings, were at different stages in their experience, and were well\u2010distributed geographically. Forty (48.2%) don't perform microtia repair and half (52.5%) refer to an FPRS\u2010trained colleague. Among microtia surgeons, most (N\u2009=\u200930, 69.8%) received fellowship training. Autologous reconstruction was the most popular method for training and practice; however, most perform multiple methods (N\u2009=\u200933, 76.7%). Autologous rib training was positively correlated with experience of &gt;20 years. Those with combined autologous\/alloplastic practice were more frequently trained by PO fellowship. Surgical site infection was the most frequent complication and was seen more often by those trained via residency alone (OR 12.8, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). Those who trained in autologous rib alone were less likely to encounter postoperative graft exposure (OR 5.0, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05); however, they were more likely to encounter skin and soft tissue infection (OR 0.07, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Otolaryngology\u2010trained microtia surgeons come from a variety of academic backgrounds and progress to varied practices.
