[One stage reconstruction of auricle with partial defect after trauma].
An improved method for one stage reconstruction of partial defect of the ear lobe is reported. A postauricular mastoid skin flap is constructed with the pedicle on the margin of the defect of the ear. If necessary, the distal part of the flap may carry a piece of subcutaneous tissue of the scalp to cover the framework. The operation has been done in 19 patients with satisfactory results.
