Postauricular Tubed Flap in the Reconstruction of Auricular Margin Defects: Revisited

Background  Reconstruction of the auricular margin defects is challenging due to the ear’s intricate architecture. Tubed flap raised from the postauricular area is a simple and reliable option for reconstructing marginal defects. Methods  Eight patients with various auricular margin defects were rec...

description Background  Reconstruction of the auricular margin defects is challenging due to the ear’s intricate architecture. Tubed flap raised from the postauricular area is a simple and reliable option for reconstructing marginal defects. Methods  Eight patients with various auricular margin defects were reconstructed, using a postauricular tubed flap in a staged manner. Parameters like flap survival, reliability, complications, and cosmesis were assessed. Results  Out of eight patients, one patient had marginal necrosis, which was managed with debridement and lengthening of the flap. All the flaps settled well with a good aesthetic outcome. Conclusion  Postauricular tubed flap is a reliable and efficient method for reconstructing auricular margin defects.
