lüll Surgical treatment of recurring preauricular sinus: supra-auricular approach Leopardi G; Chiarella G; Conti S; Cassandro EActa Otorhinolaryngol Ital 2008[Dec]; 28 (6): 302-5Congenital preauricular sinus is a malformation of the preauricular soft tissues with an incidence ranging between 0.1 and 0.9% in Europe and the United States. It presents a high risk of recurrence when treated by a standard surgical technique (simple sinectomy), the incidence of which is reported to be between 19% and 40%. The supra-auricular approach, proposed by Prasad et al. in 1990, is easier to perform and presents a lower recurrence risk. Personal experience is presented in the treatment of congenital preauricular sinus with the supra-auricular approach as first choice or in the case of recurrence following previous standard surgery. This report includes a short review of the literature in order not only to focus on the supra-auricular approach and check the efficacy as far as concerns reduction of recurrence risk but also to contribute to a more widespread use of this method.|Adolescent[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Age Factors[MESH]|Ear Diseases/*congenital/epidemiology/*surgery[MESH]|Ear, External/*abnormalities/*surgery[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Fistula/*congenital/epidemiology/*surgery[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Incidence[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Recurrence[MESH]|Sex Factors[MESH] |
