Post Auricular Flaps in Helical Rim Defect
Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Human ear is a complicated structure with closely adherent anterior skin. Choosing the best technique for its repair is a challenge. The advantage and disadvantage of each procedure is to be cautiously and judiciously weighed, although much depends on the operating surgeon's experience. An assessment of utility of simple post-auricular flap for correcting post traumatic ear rim defect of varying sizes was done in this study. This flap provided excellent result in 22 patients except one showing minimal superficial necrosis. The post auricular flap can cover helical rim defect of varying size with good result and minimal complication rate due to loose post auricular skin, similar texture, matching colour, rich blood supply and proximity to the defect.
