A retroauricular cutaneous advancement flap effectively repairs ear defects after skin cancer excision. This surgical technique preserves ear size, avoiding the miniaturization often seen with other methods.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Dermatologic Surgery

Background:

  • Excisional surgery for ear skin cancer can result in a smaller ear post-operation.
  • Reconstructive challenges arise in maintaining ear size and aesthetics after tumor removal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the application of a retroauricular cutaneous advancement flap for ear defect repair.
  • To present a method that prevents ear miniaturization following skin cancer excision.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a retroauricular cutaneous advancement flap.
  • Reconstructing surgical defects of the ear.

Main Results:

  • Successful repair of surgical defects without ear miniaturization.
