“…The study findings differed with a study conducted by Richa Gupta et al, 5 where 42.3% of cases were found in the age group of 11 -20 years. The present study findings in relation to gender and laterality of sinus were similar to a study conducted by ElAassar et al, 6 where 67% of study subjects were females and 46.5% of them had right preauricular sinus.…”

BACKGROUND Preauricular sinus is an asymptomatic congenital abnormality of external ear found along the ascending crux of the helix or adjacent to tragus. Asymptomatic preauricular sinus does not require any intervention. The most common clinical presentation of infected preauricular sinus is erythema, swelling, pain and discharge. Infected preauricular sinus requires surgical excision to prevent recurrence and reinfection.The objective of this study is to compare the outcomes of preauricular sinus excision by classic simple sinusectomy, classic simple sinusectomy with methylene blue dye injection and supra-auricular approach. MATERIALS AND METHODSA prospective study was carried out in Department of Otorhinolaryngology of Gandhi Medical College, Secunderabad from 2009 to 2014 with a 3-year follow-up period. Patients were evaluated on the outcomes of 3 surgical techniques namely classic simple, sinusectomy, classic simple sinusectomy with methylene blue injection and supra-auricular approach. RESULTSA total of 50 patients required surgical excision of preauricular sinus during study period. Around 64% of cases were in the age group of 6 -10 years. Around 15% of study population who underwent classic simple sinusectomy showed recurrence after excision and 10% of subjects who underwent classic simple sinusectomy with intraoperative methylene blue injection showed recurrence. There were no recurrences reported among study subjects who underwent excision of sinus by supra-auricular approach. CONCLUSIONFrom the present study, it can be concluded that supra-auricular approach has no recurrence/ least recurrence when compared with other surgical techniques for management of preauricular sinus.

Background: A pre auricular sinus is a congenital abnormality, which occurs due to failure of fusion of primitive tubercles from which pinna develops. Pre auricular sinuses are usually asymptomatic and when symptomatic present usually as discharging sinus, associated with abscess formation anterior to root of helix. Symptomatic pre auricular sinus requires surgical excision to prevent recurrence and reinfection. Treatment of pre auricular sinus by conventional methods usually presents a dead space due to removal of sinus tract. The present study is to overcome this defect by a superficial temporalartery based temporo-parietal fascia flap or Khabeer’s flap. The objective of this study is to describe a novel technique for excision of pre auricular sinus using supra auricular approach and using a temporo-parietal fascia flap for covering the defect created after excision of pre auricular sinus.Methods: A prospective study was carried out in Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Gandhi Medical College/Gandhi Hospital Secunderabad from 2014 to 2017. All the patients admitted with symptomatic pre auricular sinus underwent surgical excision by supra auricular approach and at the end superficial temporal artery based flap was placed to fill the dead space. Results: A total of 20 pre auricular sinuses were operated during the study period. There were no recurrences, no collection of serous fluid and no cosmetic defect post operatively in any of the study subject.Conclusions: The newer approach was found to be safe as it does not confer any complications post operatively and can be used for management of pre auricular sinus.

Background: Preauricular sinus (PrAS) is a common congenital malformation of the external ear which affects mainly children. Symtomatic Preauricular sinus and also asymptomatic for unusual scar mark, surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Due to variation of presentation and recurrence, different types of surgical procedures are practiced by the surgeons for the treatment of Preauricular sinus. The aim of our study is to compare the relative frequency and incidence of Preauricular sinus and also find out the best surgical procedure for it.
