Abstract

Purpose: The auricular fillet flap (AFF) is also used to reconstruct defects of the periauricular region and scalp.The aim of this study was to evaluate patients in whom the total AFF was used to reconstruct defects formed after the resection the skin of the auricular and parotid regions.

Methods: Seven patients, who presented at the researchers' hospital between January 2017 and July 2020 with masses involving, to different degrees, the parotid region, the periauricular region, the external auditory canal, or the auricular anterior surface skin were retrospectively evaluated.

Results: The study retrospectively analyzed seven patients aged 71 to 92 (mean: 80.3 years), including two females (28.5%) and five males (71.5%). The defective region, formed as a result of surgery, was reconstructed with the TAFF in all patients. One patient developed a blood circulation deficiency at first but recovered within a week, while there were no problems with blood circulation or compatibility of the flaps in the other six patients.

Conclusion: The researchers recommend using the TAFF as an alternative flap for reconstructing defects of the skin of the auricular and parotid regions. This reconstruction method can be achieved in one session and offers acceptable aesthetic results.

使用全耳廓腓骨瓣重建耳廓和腮腺区肿瘤后的缺损。

目的：耳廓菲氏瓣（AFF）也可用于重建耳周和头皮的缺损。本研究旨在对使用全耳廓菲氏瓣重建耳廓和腮腺区皮肤切除后形成的缺损的患者进行评估：对2017年1月至2020年7月期间在研究者所在医院就诊的7例不同程度累及腮腺区、耳周区、外耳道或耳廓前表面皮肤的肿块患者进行了回顾性评估：研究回顾性分析了七名年龄在 71 至 92 岁（平均 80.3 岁）的患者，其中包括两名女性（28.5%）和五名男性（71.5%）。所有患者手术后形成的缺损区域都用 TAFF 进行了重建。一名患者一开始出现了血液循环障碍，但在一周内就恢复了，而其他六名患者的血液循环和皮瓣的相容性都没有问题：研究人员建议使用 TAFF 作为重建耳廓和腮腺区域皮肤缺损的替代皮瓣。这种重建方法可在一次治疗中完成，并提供可接受的美学效果。
