The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of protecting the facial nerve and reducing the scar visibility using a modified tragus edge and transmasseteric anteroparotid approach compared to classic preauricular approach for intracapsular and condylar neck fractures. This retrospective study
BACKGROUND
Patients with solitary-type congenital tragal malformations accompanied by dystopic cartilage growth (accessory tragus) show not only a disfigured or absent tragus but also unnecessary tragal or pretragal lumps. Furthermore, an absent tragus causes a wholly exposed external auditory
OBJECTIVE
This paper highlights the therapeutic effect of tragus cartilage and temporalis fascia graft on repairing bone and skin defect in external auditory canal.
METHODS
Forty-one surgical patients were recuited, including 39 cases of external auditory canal cholesteatoma and 2 cases of osteoma.
The creation of a high-defining tragus and antitragus complex remains a demanding challenge during staged lobule-type microtia reconstruction. The success of the complex carving relies greatly on proper operation of the cartilage, which is commonly residual cartilage of various sizes.
