SANTAMARIA-CORDOBA, Natalia; CRUZ-RUBIANO, Andrea  y  BAEZ-FLOREZ, Sayra. Burns of the auricular pavillion: amniotic membrane versus occlusive cure for chondritis prevention. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2023, vol.49, n.3, pp.301-308.  Epub 11-Dic-2023. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922023000300013.

Background and objective.

Preventing chondritis is an important pillar in the treatment of burns of the auricular pavilion because, currently, there is no management protocol for this pathology and its subsequent complications.

The present study aims to analyze the available literature on the management of auricular burns, and to compare the use of amniotic membrane versus occlusive treatment in a group of patients with burns in the auricular pavilion to prevent cauliflower ear.

Methods.

Literature review of the different ways of treatment for ear burns and study in a group of patients from the Burn Unit of the Integrated Subred of Health Services North E.S.E. Simón Bolívar (UHMES) from Bogotá D.C Colombia, with burns on the auricular pavilion to which amniotic membrane was applied to cover up the injuries in order to reduce the risk of chondritis and the consequent cauliflower deformity, among other complications.

Results.

From the literature review, we obtain a comparison between the use of conservative treatments versus surgical procedures and, in the study of patients treated with amniotic membrane, we observed a significant decrease in the local inflammatory response, pain, frequency of wound healing, and therefore, shorter hospital stay.

Conclusions.

Our study provides a bibliographic review and our own comparative experience, both of interest for the prevention of post-auricular burn chondritis and contributes to create protocols for treatment of this type of injury in order to avoid its sequelae.
