Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Tubed pedicle flaps have limited use in cutaneous surgery.
  • The preauricular area presents unique opportunities for ear reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of tubed pedicle flaps for auricular reconstruction.
  • To highlight the advantages of preauricular tissue transfer for congenital or acquired ear defects.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized two-staged tubed pedicle flap procedures.
  • Emphasized meticulous presurgical assessment and pedicle handling.
  • Transferred preauricular tissue to reconstruct auricular defects.

Main Results:

  • Successfully performed 36 two-staged pedicled auricular reconstructive procedures.
  • Achieved excellent aesthetic results in complex cases.
  • Reported no untoward complications or sequelae.

Conclusions:

  • Tubed pedicle flaps are a valuable tool for auricular reconstruction, particularly using preauricular tissue.
  • The technique offers reliable transfer of tissue for deep auricular defects.
  • This method yields rewarding aesthetic outcomes for challenging reconstructive problems.
