Aesthetic reconstruction of the upper antihelix in external ear with banner pull-through flap
INTRODUCTION: We can use pre auricular and post auricular skin as a pull through flap for upper antihelix defects reconstruction. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a prospective case-series study, which was done in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Ward. In this study, 15 patients (3...

description | INTRODUCTION: We can use pre auricular and post auricular skin as a pull through flap for upper antihelix defects reconstruction. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a prospective case-series study, which was done in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Ward. In this study, 15 patients (3 women, 12 men), ranging from 45 to 72 years old (mean, 58 years) underwent operation with pull through banner flap for reconstruction of upper antihelix (7 cases) and triangular fossa with superior and inferior crura (5cases) caused by BCC or SCC excision. Reconstruction of upper antihelix defects up to 20 × 30 mm with post auricle pull through flap and reconstruction of triangular fossa up to 20 × 20 mm with pre auricle pull through flap were done. RESULTS: Our study showed that pull through flap with superior pedicle from post auricular and preauricular area was an effective method for reconstruction of upper ear antihelix defects. CONCLUSION: We advocate that the pull through flap with superior pedicle from post auricle and pre auricle is an excellent choice for reconstruction of upper antihelix ear reconstruction in both crura and triangular fossa. |
