Surgical management of skin cancer and trauma involving the middle third of the auricle

Abstract: SummaryThe main causes of acquired auricular defects are surgical treatment of skin tumors and trauma. Due to the complex anatomy of the external ear, surgical reconstruction of defects in this area is challenging for surgeons, especially in case of midhelix-antihelix involvement with significant loss of soft tissue and cartilage.Our purpose is to illustrate the main reconstructive techniques of large midhelix and antihelix defects, as well as the advantages or disadvantages associated with each surgical proce… Show more

“…Auricular defects resulting after skin cancer surgery require adequate reconstruction procedures to restore the three‐dimensional auricular shape and firmness. Most reconstructions require preparation of flaps, skin grafts, or cartilage harvesting since the skin on the pinna has limited laxity 1 . Transposition flaps (TFs) are used when surgical defects are at risk of functional or esthetic impairment if repaired by primary closure, secondary intention, grafting, or flaps; TFs enable the repair of nonadjacent areas, allowing defect closure with noncontiguous but very similar skin match, while camouflaging scars into esthetical unit junction sites 2 .…”

“…Después de la extirpación del tumor, el cartílago expuesto generalmente se puede recortar, seguido de un cierre primario después [6]. • Injertos de piel: Se ha descrito la posibilidad de realizar injertos de piel aislados para defectos de espesor cutáneo completo en la región helicial; no obstante, apenas hay casos en la literatura; pues los resultados no son muy satisfactorios debido a la pérdida de la forma y la estabilidad auricular [2]. • Excisión en cuña: los defectos pequeños de hélix (<1 cm), se pueden reparar, realizando una escisión triangular (con base en la periferia) completa del tumor, con cierre primario posterior.…”

“…Las reconstrucciones, por lo tanto, tienen como objetivo reemplazar el cartílago que falta con injertos de cartílago (costilla, concha auricular, tabique nasal) o cartílago de ingeniería tisular y cubrirlos seguidamente con colgajos [ 267 ] Rev. ORL, 2019, 10,4,[263][264][265][266][267][268] retroauriculares o fasciales temporoparietales superficiales e injertos de piel retroauricular para proporcionar estabilidad local [2]. • Colgajos retroauriculares y cartílago: realizaríamos primeramente el diseño de este.…”
