Auricular complications following temporal bone resection for temporal bone malignancies: a clinical consideration

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

-The preservation of the auricle in temporal bone resection is as important as the prevention of other complications, such as facial nerve weakness/paralysis. -Temporal bone resection can cause auricular congestion due to insufficient venous outflow in head and neck region. -4.7% of temporal bone resection cases showed postoperative auricular complication. -Pre-/infra-auricular lymph node dissection may be correlated with auricular complications -An immediate and continuous application of bloodletting can replace insufficient venous drainage after temporal bone resection and prevent auricle necrosis.
