Reconstruction of partial ear defects represents a difficult challenge to the plastic surgeon, due to the delicate and intricate architecture of the chondrocutaneous sandwich of the external ear. These defects could be the result of laceration and avulsion injuries, animal and human bites, burns and tumour excision. Since its introduction to the plastic surgery field, by Gillies, in 1917, tube flaps have been successfully used to reconstruct many defects. Although, in the past two decades, tube flaps have been replaced by the more modern single-stage reconstruction techniques, it still represents an excellent tool for reconstruction of partial ear defects. We present three cases of reconstruction of partial ear defects using a modified two-stage post-auricular tube flap technique, which is simple and reliable technique with good aesthetic outcome.
由于外耳软骨皮肤复合体结构精细复杂，耳部部分缺损的重建对整形外科医生而言是一项艰巨挑战。这些缺损可能由撕裂伤、撕脱伤、动物和人类咬伤、烧伤以及肿瘤切除导致。自1917年吉利斯将皮管皮瓣引入整形外科领域以来，它已成功用于修复多种缺损。尽管在过去二十年中，皮管皮瓣已被更现代的一期重建技术所取代，但它仍是修复耳部部分缺损的一种出色工具。我们展示了三例采用改良的二期耳后皮管皮瓣技术修复耳部部分缺损的病例，该技术简单可靠，美学效果良好。
