| 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. |
