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 procedure. Primary closure/wedge technique is mainly used in elderly, multimorbid subjects where single-stage procedures are desirable, but several complex chondrocutaneous, retroauricular, temporoparietal full-thickness flap procedures can also be used to recreate an ear with normal appearance.Auricular reconstruction of large midhelix-antihelix defects requires a good knowledge of auricular anatomy and the various surgical procedures available for such defects.

Die Hauptursachen erworbener Ohrmuscheldefekte sind chirurgische Behandlung von Hauttumoren und Traumata. Wegen der komplexen Anatomie des Außenohrs ist die chirurgische Rekonstruktion von Defekten in dieser Region für Operateure herausfordernd, insbesondere wenn die mittlere Helix und Anthelix von größeren Weichteil- und Knorpelverlusten betroffen sind. Wir stellen hier die wichtigsten Techniken zur Rekonstruktion großer Defekte der mittleren Helix und Anthelix sowie die Vor- und Nachteile jedes chirurgischen Verfahrens vor. Bei älteren, multimorbiden Patienten werden meist einstufige Verfahren mit primärem Verschluss/Keilexzision angewandt; es können aber auch mehrere komplexe chondrokutane, retroaurikuläre, temporoparietale Vollhautlappen-Verfahren durchgeführt werden, um ein normal aussehendes Ohr zu rekonstruieren. Die aurikuläre Rekonstruktion großer Defekte der mittleren Helix-Anthelix Region erfordert gute Kenntnisse der Ohrmuschel-Anatomie und der verschiedenen chirurgischen Verfahren zur Korrektur solcher Defekte.

“…Tunneled flaps from the retroauricular area have the advantage that the donor region is masked, and the resulting scar is hidden [4, 6]. Therefore, we consider them in many cases as first choice for reconstruction.…”
