Large defects of the helical rim can also be repaired with an FTSG. If the defect involves both the anterior and posterior surfaces, an FTSG can be done and sutures placed to recreate the normal contour of the helical rim.

2010年5月1日 · Between March 2003 and January 2007, 40 patients affected by T1 and T2 non-melanotic skin cancer and T1 melanoma of the anterior conchal surface of the external ear were included in a prospective study and randomly assigned to the RD reconstructed group or to the FTSG reconstructed group to investigate, compare and define advantages and ...
