Correction of congenital meatal atresia of the ear, utilizing a superiorly based post-auricular pedicle flap. 1977

J Friedberg

A technique for correction of congenital meatal atresia of the ear using a superiorly based post-auricular skin pedicle is presented. Once the bony meatus has been created and middle ear work completed, this flap may be transposed into the defect and it will provide sufficient skin to fully line all raw areas. This provides rapid healing and thus far, out of seven cases, no stenosis or longterm cavity problems have developed.
