Postauricular pull-through transposition flap for an anterior auricular defect

Keloid Intralesional Excision Reduces Recurrence: A Meta-analytic Study of the Available Literature on 608 Keloids

“…After excluding statistical outliers by assessing studentized residuals, a total of 22 studies were included in the meta-analysis, totaling 608 keloids. 8,14–34 (In cases where one patient had multiple keloids treated, each keloid was considered a unique case.) Additional therapies used are summarized in Table 1.…”

Full-Thickness Defect on the Earlobe and Inferior Helix

“…In addition, as a single-stage flap, the tunneled interpolation flap provided a cost-and time-effective alternative to more multistage repairs. 1 Tunneled flaps have been described for the antitragus, concha, and small partial-thickness defects of the inferior earlobe. 2,3 By contrast, the defect presented herein represents a large full-thickness defect involving most of the earlobe and an inferior portion of the helix, which is particularly challenging to reconstruct with a one-staged repair with minimal aesthetic compromise.…”

The Utility of Chondrocutaneous Advancement Flap in Conjunction with Postauricular SkinFlap for Reconstruction of Large Helical Rim Defects

“…While the Antia-Buch approach can be an effective method for providing adequate closure for defects up to 2 cm in size, it is essential to recognize that this technique may have some limitations and potential drawbacks, including the risk of a loss of ear height and unsatisfactory aesthetics [13]. The use of postauricular skin incision in combination with retroauricular advancement flaps is a modification that aims to address the potential drawbacks of the traditional Antia-Buch flap thecnique and avoid scaphal resection to prevent a decrease in ear height.…”
