Abstract
CAMACHO SALAS, Carlos Alberto; BARRERA GAMBOA, Juan Camilo and VACA GRISALES, Daniela. Chondrocutaneous flap of Antia-Buch for covering extensive defects of the auricle. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2020, vol.46, n.4, pp.449-454. Epub Feb 08, 2021. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922020000500008.
Usefulness of chondrocutaneous helix flap for defects smaller than 2 cm is widely accepted. This paper attempts to show the outcome of this technique for the management of a large helix and antihelix defect.
We performed the Antia-Buch technique, with two chondrocutaneous flaps, to reconstruct in a single surgical stage a 40 mm defect in the middle third of the auricle of an elderly patient who refused more than one surgical time, achieving an appropriate functional and cosmetical outcome.
