Abstract
Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of microsurgical treatment of preauricular fistula (IPF).
Method:
The clinical data of 102 ears with IPF underwent microsurgical treatment were reviewed retrospectively.
Result:
One hundred ears (98.04%) recovered from the microsurgical treatment without recurrence.
Conclusion:
Microsurgical technique is simple, safe and valuable in treating IPF, particularly when it comes to the patients with post operational recurrence, repeated infection or too much scar tissue.
