Anthelix-conchal reconstruction with postauricular "revolving door" island flap.
The postauricular "revolving door" island flap is commonly used to reconstruct the conchal area after ablative surgery. This procedure may also be used to reconstruct the anthelix-conchal area after surgical removal of a squamous cell carcinoma of the external ear. The technique is simple and safe, and it can be performed as a one-stage procedure; moreover, excellent aesthetic results can be achieved.
