Abstract

Total ear amputation is common, and management can necessitate different procedures, especially microsurgical anastomosis. Partial ear amputations supplied by narrow pedicles, however, have been reported rarely. In a subtotally amputated auricle, the chance of survival depends on the vascularization within the pedicle. In our case, the right ear of a 36-year-old male patient was subtotally amputated following a traffic accident, leaving only a 6-mm skin pedicle on the cranial side. The subtotally amputated segment was bleeding from the wound margins. The ear was reattached with primary suture without using microsurgical techniques after optimal debridement. Postoperatively, we administrated dextran 40 for 5 days to improve the microcirculation and increase blood volume and antibiotic to control the infection. No signs of edema, venous congestion or arterial insufficiency were observed immediately after the operation or subsequently. The replanted auricle healed completely with 100% survival, resulting in an essentially normal contour and appearance. This successful result without microvascular anastomoses also points out the anatomical features of the auricular vascular networks

Özet

Total kulak amputasyonu sıklıkla görülür. Tedavisi özellikle mikrocerrahi anastomozlar olmak üzere farklı yöntemler gerektirebilir. Ancak, dar bir pedikülden beslenen kısmi kulak amputasyonları nadiren bildirilmiştir. Subtotal ampute olan bir aurikulada, dokunun yaşaması pedikül içindeki damarlanmaya bağlıdır. Bizim olgumuzda, 36 yaşındaki erkek hastanın sağ kulağı trafik kazasını takiben, kraniyal kısımda sadece 6 mm’lik deri pedikülü kalacak biçimde subtotal olarak ampute olmuştu. Subtotal ampute olan segment yara kenarlarından kanıyordu. Kulak optimal debridmanı takiben, mikrocerrahi teknikler kullanmadan primer dikilerek yerine adapte edildi. Ameliyat sonrası mikrosirkülasyonu iyileştirmek ve kan hacmini artırmak için dekstran 40 ve enfeksiyon kontrolü için antibiyotik uygulandı. Ameliyattan hemen sonra ve takipte, ödem, venöz konjesyon veya arteriyel yetersizlik bulguları izlenmedi. Replante olmuş aurikula yüzde yüz yaşayarak tamamen iyileşti ve normal bir kontur ve görünüme sahip oldu. Mikrovasküler anastomoz olmaksızın gerçekleşen bu başarılı sonuç, kulak bölgesindeki vasküler ağın anatomik özelliklerini vurgulaması açısından önem taşımaktadır.
