The external ear has intrinsic anatomical vulnerabilities that invite surgical complications. Among these are the exposed position of the auricle, the thinness of the skin, and subcutaneous cover; the delicate convoluted shape; and the avascularity of the underlying auricular cartilage. Certain complications of surgery such as infection, bleeding, and hypertrophic scars are shared in common with operative procedures elsewhere on the body. Other complications are specific to otoplasty, to ear reconstruction, and to other individual ear procedures. This article outlines the means of recognition, treatment, and prevention of complications in surgery of the external ear.
外耳存在一些内在的解剖学薄弱之处，容易引发手术并发症。其中包括耳廓暴露在外的位置、皮肤及皮下覆盖组织较薄、精细的卷曲形状以及耳廓软骨下方缺乏血管供应。某些手术并发症，如感染、出血和增生性瘢痕，与身体其他部位的手术操作有共通之处。其他并发症则是耳部整形手术、耳再造手术及其他个别耳部手术所特有的。本文概述了外耳手术中并发症的识别、治疗及预防方法。
