Objective:
To investigate an individualized approach to the treatment of auricle keloid to maintain the normal appearance of external ear and meanwhile reduce the recurrence.
Methods:
Different local flaps were performed according to the location of the keloid in our approach. The auricle was divided into different anatomical regions and all the patients received local postoperative radiotherapy.
Results:
Of 68 patients with auricle keloid received the individualized approach, 3 cases suffered delayed healing due to partial flap necrosis. The remaining patients were followed up for 8-21 months(mean:11.5 months) . Recurrence occurred in one patient(1.47%) .
Conclusion:
The individualized approach combining local flaps with radiotherapy in treating auricle keloid can effectively maintain the normal ear appearance with low recurrence rate.
