Abstract

After removal of an infiltrative BCC of the auditory meatus, a soft tissue defect of the temporal-mastoid area with bone exposure, needed reconstruction. Several options have been taken into account and a simple yet effective solution has been found following the spare-parts principle. The ear lobe, preserved during cancer removal, was split and used as a thin skin flap. Adequate coverage of the bone exposure and resurfacing of the external auditory canal was obtained with minimal donor site morbidity and a short surgery in a fragile patient with several comorbidities. The spare-parts strategy can provide successful solution to difficult reconstructive cases regardless of the anatomical area.
