[Use of a temporoparietal fascial flap in difficult reconstructions of the external ear].
Temporo parietal fascial flap is a way of total ear reconstruction when there is not a sufficient quantity of available skin in auricular region. This flap very thin, supplied by superficial temporal vessels is located above the auricle and can cover the framework's convolutions. This technique has been well described by Burt Brent. Our experience is based upon 12 total ear reconstruction with this kind of flap. When there is an extreme skin shortage, but of good quality, we discuss the technique of skin expander.
