Salvage of a cartilage framework exposure in total ear reconstruction using a retro-auricular fascia flap with double axial irrigation
Cartilage framework exposure during total ear reconstruction requires an early salvage procedure and a secure coverage. We present a case that has been successfully covered by a retro-auricular fascia flap and a skin graft. Because we were dealing with a post-traumatic ear amputation with extensive...

description | Cartilage framework exposure during total ear reconstruction requires an early salvage procedure and a secure coverage. We present a case that has been successfully covered by a retro-auricular fascia flap and a skin graft. Because we were dealing with a post-traumatic ear amputation with extensive scarring, the flap was designed to include both the retro-auricular artery and the occipital artery for an enhanced vascular security. This flap design may play a more important role especially in post-traumatic ear reconstruction. |
