Purpose:

To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of using the submental flap for auricular defect reconstruction.
To assess the submental flap as a viable option for head and neck cancer reconstruction.

Summary:

The submental flap was utilized in three patients for auricular defect reconstruction following oncological excision.
The procedure demonstrated good outcomes, including excellent skin color and contour match, with well-concealed donor sites.
One case experienced partial flap tip necrosis, indicating a potential complication to manage.
