title: [Earlobe reconstruction in one step by the Gavello's procedure: Surgical technique and a case report].
abstract: The earlobe because of its anatomical position is subject of defects secondary to multiple and varied etiologies. Although its functional role appears negligible, its aesthetic and social importance makes its reconstruction a delicate surgery because it must be discreet but also the simplest possible. Many methods have been described but some require several operating times. The aim of this article is to present a simple procedure with a bilobed flap based on a reliable vascularization and which requires only one operative time. We describe the technique through a clinical case and review the literature to discuss the other methods described.
