Fillet of pinna flap in scalp reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods We report four patients operated in the last three years, for lesions of the ear, invading the post auricular skin and infiltrating into the scalp. On examination these ulcerating lesions had the clinical appearance of deeply infiltrating basal cell carcinoma. Surgery was performed under general anaesthesia. After resection was performed with 1 cm skin margins, down and including the temporal fascia, the clear anterior skin surface of the upper pole of the ear was freed by its internal cartilaginous skeleton. The obtained fillet flap of the homolateral upper ear pole was raised and reflected posteriorly to cover the wound completely or partially. When needed, a split skin graft was added to the reconstruction.
