Single staged, z-plasty supported, wedge excision modification for treatment of auricular lesions under local anesthesia: a technical note

Following wedge-excision of auricular lesions, a triangular-cartilage only-excision is planned at the tip of the wedge. The dimensions and the angles of this cartilage can be modified as much as the required helical rotation. After approximating the cartilage edges a notching deformity may be observ...

Description
Summary:Following wedge-excision of auricular lesions, a triangular-cartilage only-excision is planned at the tip of the wedge. The dimensions and the angles of this cartilage can be modified as much as the required helical rotation. After approximating the cartilage edges a notching deformity may be observed which can be improved using single or multiple z-plasties.
