[The "transposition-rotation flap" in the one stage reconstruction of auricle defects (author's transl)].
To close full thickness auricle defects (Fig. 1 a) we use a hairbearing rotation flap to transport the non-hairbearing transposition flaps in the right, retroauricular position (Fig. 1 b). The scars are lying in the hair and in the RSTL of the neck. If the helix is not resected (Fig. 6 a), we have to remove epithelium to fix the folded transposition flap in the defect (Fig. 6 c). In the same way we use this flap to close large defects in the retro- and postauricular region and to reconstruct auricle deformities.
