Partial Ear Reconstruction with a Prelaminated Induced Expanded Radial Artery Flap

A 76-year-old man underwent an extensive resection for squamous cell carcinoma 2 years before, resulting in the loss of the superior half of the right ear, without any attempt at reconstruction. The decision was to reconstruct with a combined suprafascial tissue expansion, an alloplastic framework f...

description A 76-year-old man underwent an extensive resection for squamous cell carcinoma 2 years before, resulting in the loss of the superior half of the right ear, without any attempt at reconstruction. The decision was to reconstruct with a combined suprafascial tissue expansion, an alloplastic framework fabricated with porous polyethylene, and a radial artery free flap. At 1-year follow-up, the patient was satisfied with the result. We believe this represents a novel approach to be considered for partial ear reconstruction.
