Abstract:
A 43-year-old female patient had a necrotizing soft tissue infection in the temporal region. Because of the necrotic temporoparietal fascia, auricular reconstruction was attempted using the temporalis muscle flap; the flap was successfully placed. The use of the temporalis muscle flap was considered a treatment option for salvaging the auricle.
