Abstract:
The postauricular "revolving door" island flap is commonly used to reconstruct the conchal area after ablative surgery. This procedure may also be used to reconstruct the anthelix-conchal area after surgical removal of a squamous cell carcinoma of the external ear. The technique is simple and safe, and it can be performed as a one-stage procedure; moreover, excellent aesthetic results can be achieved.
