The turn-over flap for repair of an iatrogenic hole of the concha.
We report a rare case of an iatrogenic hole of the concha and antehelix, resulting from a tight postoperative dressing, successfully repaired by a local postauricular turn-over flap. The technique is very simple and gave a very good cosmetic result.
