Cartilage Removal Prior to Skin Grafting in the Triangular Fossa, Antihelix, and Concha of the Ear

Abstract: Skin grafting onto a large area of exposed ear cartilage with irregular contours poses an increased risk of inadequate re-establishment of circulation. Removal of cartilage not needed for structural support before grafting following Mohs surgery on the triangular fossa, antihelix, and concha of the ear decreases the risk of recurrence of the carcinoma, and increases the chances for survival of the graft.

“…If the most important goal is the aesthetic outcome, then FTSG represents the best choice. FTSGs are most commonly used to treat facial defects, caused by the removal of a skin cancer, and are harvested from the skin surrounding the defects, with the same colour and texture .…”

“…As with the superior helical rim, smaller defects can often be repaired with a single or double transposition flap from the post auricular skin or with a wedge resection. For defects of greater magnitude and those that include the superior as well as posterior‐inferior rim the chondrocutaneous advancement flap 3 may be used. With both flaps the anterior‐superior helix may also be mobilized to facilitate closure.…”
