[Application of double pedicle sliding skin flap in cryptotia correction]
Objective:
To explor the curative effect of double pedicle sliding skin flap for correction of cryptotia.
Methods:
From January 2011 to October 2014, 7 cases with cryptotia (12 ears) were treated. We designed a double pedicle sliding skin flap above the helix. The flap was slided downward to form a new auriculocephalic sulcus. The other wound was covered by skin graft.
Results:
All wounds healed very well with no complication. The follow-up period ranged from 3 months to 1 year, with an average of (5.67 ± 3.38) months. The ear had stable appearance with no recurrence. The result was satisfactory.
Conclusions:
The method is simple with reliable flap survival rates. The new auriculocephalic sulcus is stable and resistant. It's a good choice for correction of cryptotia.
