[Stripping operation for auricular angioma]
Objective:
To improve the treatment of auricular angioma.
Method:
Twelve cases of auricular angioma were clinically analyzed and several treatments compared.
Result:
Eight of 12 cases were cured by the stripping operation, in which 7 cases had histories of recurrences with other methods. The lesions in 3 of 12 cases were controlled with the current treatments. The auricular in one case was totally excised due to the auricular fester, infection and necrosis of the cartilage. The cervico-facial trunk of facial nerve in one case during the stripping operation was surgically injured and sutured immediately by the end to end anastomosis. Facial paralysis disappeared half year after the operation. These cases were followed up from 8 months to 4 years. Only one case had local recurrence.
Conclusion:
Stripping operation can provide radical cure and is recommended for the treatment of auricular angioma.
