Fat-augmented Temporal Fascia Flap for Defect Coverage following External Auditory Canal Cancer Resection.

Malignant tumors of the external auditory canal are rare and require surgical interventions such as lateral temporal bone resection (LTBR) for localized cases. This study introduces a novel approach, the lipofilling fascia flap technique, for external auditory canal reconstruction following LTBR or modified LTBR. The technique involves augmenting the temporal fascia flap with autologous fat grafting, aiming to enhance volume and improve outcomes. Two cases are presented, demonstrating successful reconstruction with minimal complications.
