title: Treatment of auricular haematoma by silicone rubber splints.
abstract: A modification of existing techniques for the treatment of auricular haematoma is described. This method employs incision, drainage and the application of silicone rubber splints (Silastic). Existing methods of treatment are reviewed and discussed. A retrospective review of 16 cases using this technique showed a satisfactory cosmetic result in all cases.
