Abstract

Standard reconstructions of such defects are described but not applicable to every defect of which Conchal defects is rarely described with no standard technique. This article describes a simple technique for reconstruction of full thickness defects of the concha in bilayer with hinge flap taken from the posterior surface of the ear and full thickness skin graft to cover the resultant raw area.
