Objective:
To investigate the advantage and postoperation notice of immediate local skin flaps transference for the treatment of acute auricle trauma defect.
Method:
A retrospective study was carried out to judge the immediate local skin flaps transference for sixty-three patients who underwent ear injury.
Result:
All the flaps survived postoperation. After a follow-up observation for 12-18 months, the shapes of all patients' ears were satisfying, and there were no osteochondritis.
Conclusion:
Immediate local skin flaps transference for the treatment of acute auricle trauma defect could recover the shape of ears in short time. The colour of flaps were similar as the ears, so the local skin flaps were ideal material for the ear reconstruction. If the wound were contaminated, antibiotics must be used, in addition to the Dexamethasone intravenous for seven to ten days which may inhibit the osteochondrites to some extent.

The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
