ABSTRACT

The authors are convinced that for a successful use of part of the auricle floor for the replacement of penetrating nose defects a complete dissection of scarry tissue around the defect is necessary. The authors propose to use part of the auricle floor with an additional skin flap dissected from its internal surface and mastoid area. The proposed method gave good results in the treatment of 4 patients with defects of the nose. The operations were successful due to its exact plan, care of the tissues and correct performing of all steps of the operation.
