title: [Reconstruction of the lower third of the ear with a Crikelair flap].
abstract: Amputation of the lower third of the ear includes full thickness earlobe defects. Earlobe reconstruction depends on the covering and scaffold technique used. The Crikelair cervical skin flap is one of the available techniques for reconstruction. We discuss its assets and drawbacks by comparing it with alternative procedures.
