Abstract

A large keloid on the right earlobe that extended to the infraauricular region was the reason for the 42-year-old woman's referral for treatment. The entire thickness of the earlobe was implicated in the surgical defect that resulted from the severe keloid excision. We employed a straightforward technique to provide a pleasing appearance while repairing the entire lobe in a single stage without the need for grafts. In addition to being ornamental, ear lobules provide a crucial point of reference for facial symmetry while wearing earrings. It is obviously unnatural from an aesthetic standpoint to lose them. Numerous techniques created to reconstruct this deformity have offered a range of benefits and drawbacks. A case of big ear lobe keloid with whole ear lobe reconstruction employing a new, single-stage, superiorly based Preauricular flap technique that is easy to master and produces good results in terms of absence of recurrence or no any deformity even after a lengthy follow-up period has been presented.

耳上瓣用于大面积瘢痕切除后的全耳垂重建术

这名 42 岁的女性因右耳耳垂上的巨大瘢痕疙瘩延伸至耳下区域而转来接受治疗。严重的瘢痕疙瘩切除术造成的手术缺陷牵涉到整个耳垂的厚度。我们采用了一种简单直接的技术，在无需移植物的情况下，一次性修复了整个耳垂，同时提供了美观的外观。耳垂除了具有观赏价值外，还是佩戴耳环时面部对称的重要参考点。从美学角度来看，失去耳垂显然是不自然的。为重建这种畸形而创造的众多技术各有利弊。本文介绍了一例大耳垂瘢痕疙瘩的全耳垂重建手术，该手术采用了一种新型的、单阶段的、基于优势耳前皮瓣的技术，易于掌握，效果良好，即使经过长时间的随访也不会复发或出现任何畸形。
