Area of Science:

  • Plastic surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Regenerative medicine

Context:

  • The auricle is susceptible to injury due to its exposed position and anatomical structure.
  • Traumatic auricular defects can range from minor losses to complete ear absence.
  • Surgical reconstruction has been employed since 1977 to address these defects.

Purpose:

  • To review and summarize various operative techniques for reconstructing traumatic auricular defects.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of different reconstructive approaches.
  • To highlight optimal surgical methods for specific types of auricular defects.

Summary:

  • Forty-eight cases (52 ears) with traumatic auricular defects were reconstructed using diverse surgical techniques.
  • Major auricular defects were addressed with costal cartilage grafts, while helical defects utilized advancement flaps, grafts, or tube flaps.

  • Earlobe defects were repaired using double subcutaneous pedicle skin flaps, creating a natural-looking reconstruction.

    • Impact:

    • Satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes were achieved in most reconstructed cases.
    • Specific techniques, like the double subcutaneous pedicle skin flap, offer superior results for earlobe reconstruction, avoiding "spherical earlobe" deformity.
    • Careful pre-operative planning based on defect size and extent is crucial for successful auricular reconstruction.
