  • Objectives

    Surgical treatment of auricular concha, the helix root and the external auditory canal tumours, and their reconstruction, is a challenge because of the complexity of this anatomic region and the significant functional and aesthetic requirements of these treatments. The purpose of this study is to describe our experience with the retroauricular revolving door island flap technique.

    Method

    This was a retrospective descriptive study (series of nine clinical cases) conducted between 2020 and 2023 of revolving door island flap reconstruction of auricular conchal and external auditory canal defects caused by tumour removal.

    Results

    In all the cases, tumour-free margins and total reconstruction of the defect were achieved through the revolving door island flap intervention, with optimal aesthetic and functional results.

    Conclusion

    Revolving door island flap reconstruction is a viable surgical option for the reconstruction of auricular conchal and external auditory canal defects because of its versatility, reproducibility, low post-operative morbidity and optimal results.
