Salvage of a failed auricle replant with a temporoparietal fascia and subgaleal fascia flaps

Salvage of a failed auricle replant with a temporoparietal fascia and subgaleal fascia flaps A case of total auricle amputation is described in which microvascular replantation was attempted. A combined temporoparietal fascia and subgaleal fascia flap was planned as a lifeboat to preserve the cartilage skeleton of the ear, should the replant fail, as it indeed happened. The salvage procedure was done in the immediate postoperative period, with a long term acceptable result. The available options, along with other theoretical approaches to this problem, are discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png European Journal of Plastic Surgery Springer Journals

Abstract

A case of total auricle amputation is described in which microvascular replantation was attempted. A combined temporoparietal fascia and subgaleal fascia flap was planned as a lifeboat to preserve the cartilage skeleton of the ear, should the replant fail, as it indeed happened. The salvage procedure was done in the immediate postoperative period, with a long term acceptable result. The available options, along with other theoretical approaches to this problem, are discussed.
