Background:
Surgical exposure of postauricular skin lesions is challenging.
Method:
Using a sterile dressing to expose the location of postauricular: A V-shaped notch (one-third of the side length) is cut at the dressing midline. The auricle is folded and secured within the notch.
Result:
Folding and fixing the auricle into the dressing notch improves surgical exposure and minimizes contamination risks.
Conclusion:
The intraoperative use of dressings to expose postauricular skin lesions is a convenient and low-cost method worthy of clinical promotion.
