Facial paralysis is a
disfiguring disorder with
significant psychological
impact, emotional and family,
leading to these suicidal
patients, because these patients
are marginalized in their
families, work and their social
environment ...
When an injury or trauma to
the ears is important to
give proper treatment
immediately, to avoid
complications that may even
endanger the patient's life
because an infection can be
spread by close proximity of
the ear to the brain. This
severe infection, is called
osteochondritis, which can
lead to a total necrosis of
the ear, or left with severe
deformity.
The etiology is variable
from sharps injuries with
guns, impact, gunshot, etc.
human bites.
In lesions where there are
whole ear amputation, there
is now the most important
technique of plastic
surgery, microsurgery called
thus allows us to safely
reimplantation.
Marginal ear injury where
you can not perform primary
closure of tissues due to
loss of substance, another
option, the use of flaps
near the injury, including
mention: condrocutáneo flap
(Antia-Buch, Davis), tubular
flaps , which is the
preference of the author and
others.
