Helical advancement with a posterior auricular pull-through flap: a technique for reconstruction of combined helical and scaphal defects
Abstract
Ear reconstruction after skin cancer resection has traditionally challenged the reconstructive surgeon and many techniques of reconstruction have been published as a testament to this. With the widespread use of Moh's technique for resection, more tissues are now available after resection, and this has created a new challenge for the reconstructive surgeon-to use creatively all the remaining tissues and maximize the aesthetics of the ear reconstruction. This paper demonstrates a one-stage technique for reconstruction of a combined helical and scaphal Moh's defect which utilizes helical advancement with a posterior auricular skin flap.

“Tissue spared by Moh’s techniuqe is excised and closure often results in cupping of the ear, requiring further excision to correct [ 1 ].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
