| Abstract |
|
Wide excision for curative treatment of malignant tumor on periauricular area often leads to loss of the ex-ternal ear. But the auricle has rich vascular supply, Conservation of auricular contour is possible through salvage and engineering of remained auricular tissue. We experienced two cases of auricular salvage after wide excision of malignant tumor. In the first case, we performed two-staged technique. In first step, we covered soft tissue defect on periauricualr area with the anterolateral thigh free flap and remained auricle was floating over the flap after split-thickness skin graft was applied on it’s posterior raw surface because it's survival was not confirmed. Second step was reposition of remained auricule on the anterolateral thigh flap. In the second case, we packed in periauricular dead space and external auditory canal with temoporalis muscle and temporoparietal fascial flap and then covered the flap with split thickness skin graft. In these two cases, there were no recurrence of tumors and we obtained cosmetically & functionally satisfactory results. |
