This study introduces a novel chondrocutaneous reverse island flap from the ear helix for reconstructing nose and eyelid defects. This technique utilizes reverse vascular flow for successful reconstructive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Nose and eyelid reconstruction presents challenges.
  • Existing reconstructive techniques have limitations.

Observation:

  • Anatomic studies reveal the ear helix's blood supply originates from the superficial temporal artery system.
  • Vascular communications exist between the superficial temporal artery and supra-orbital/supra-trochlear systems.

Findings:

  • A new chondrocutaneous reverse island flap utilizing the ear helix is described.
  • This flap allows for reconstruction of alar, nose tip, and lower eyelid defects via reverse vascular flow.
  • Successful reconstruction in three patients demonstrates the flap's efficacy.

Implications:
