Abstract

A composite chondrocutaneous advancement flap is described for the reconstruction of full thickness marginal defects of the ear. It has been used successfully in two patients to reconstruct defects involving the helix and scapha and is recommended for defects whose wound dimensions exceed the limitations of both wedge excision and Antia and Buch's chondrocutaneous flap.
