“…For partial-thickness defects of the conchal bowl involving the cartilage, the postauricular island "flip flop flap" or modified pull-through flap can be utilized for reconstruction [30][31][32][33] . The flap is based on the posterior auricular artery and designed over the postauricular crease, in the same size as the conchal defect [30] .…”

Auricular defects resulting from excision of cutaneous malignancies pose a challenge to the reconstructive surgeon due to the complex anatomy, convexities, and concavities of the ear. A surgeon must be familiar with analyzing defects of the ear and understand the variety of reconstructive options available with the goals of restoring function, re-establishing anatomic units, and achieving aesthetic balance. This review summarizes current methods for reconstruction of partial auricular defects resulting from neoplasm. A brief overview of ear anatomy and aesthetic relationships is also provided. Techniques for the reconstruction are classified by anatomic region: upper-third, middle-third, and lower-third defects.

“…One poor cosmetic result was associated with the graft failure, while the other was from notching at the alar margin. 8 In contrast to the anterior approach for graft harvest, the posterior approach of graft harvest has also been described. Kalbermatten et al 9 utilized this approach in order to simplify closure of the donor site.…”

“…However, they do report two cases of postauricular wound dehiscence, which healed without further intervention. 8 Another method to close the donor site includes allowing it to heal by secondary intention. Utilizing this approach, the defect will typically reepithelialize in 3 to 5 weeks.…”

Aim:The purpose of this study is to review the indications, techniques, advantages, and outcomes of perichondrial cutaneous grafts (PCCG). Background:The PCCG is a composite graft utilized in the reconstruction of select head and neck defects. This graft, much studied and popularized by Dr Frederick Stucker, has several intrinsic benefits due to its size, thickness, contour, and unique perichondrial layer.

“…This flap can be used to repair lateral composite conchal defects as well, if a skin graft must be avoided. 1,2,[7][8][9] Upper One-Third Defects The extent of visibility of the superior portion of the ear depends greatly on a patient's hairline and hairstyle. This portion is also essential structurally for the support of glasses.…”

The authors summarize current methods for reconstructing partial auricular defects resulting from trauma, neoplasm, or congenital defects. They also review the anatomy and embryology of the ear as this is critical for proper reconstruction. Defects of the auricle are divided into upper-third, middle-third, and lower-third defects. Methods of total auricular reconstruction are also briefly discussed as these methods can provide more superior reconstruction than partial techniques in select cases.
