ear canal laceration
Introduction
Introduction Auricular ear canal laceration is a clinical manifestation of ear trauma. Auricular trauma can occur alone or with trauma to adjacent tissues, with contusions and lacerations more common. The auricle laceration is a crack in the light, a tissue defect in the severe, or a tear in the auricle or a total avulsion. After the wound should be strictly disinfected, debridement and suture should be carried out to preserve the cartilage tissue as much as possible. For example, the skin is large and the cartilage is still intact. The pedicle flap or free flap can be transplanted from behind the ear. For example, some cartilage and skin are completely broken. The edge is wedge-cut, and the fine needle is used to suture the suture. The suture cannot penetrate the cartilage.

Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
Differential diagnosis of auricular ear canal laceration:
1. Auricle abrasion: It is a skin abrasion on the surface of the auricle, but it does not damage the subcutaneous tissue and cartilage.
2, ear canal scratch: our external auditory canal skin is very delicate, and the perichondrium is very tightly connected, less subcutaneous tissue, poor blood circulation, improper use of the ear can cause damage to the external auditory canal, infection, resulting in inflammation, ulceration, and even the external auditory canal Open your mouth and eat. Some people have itchy ears, and they use their hairpins, matchsticks, and ear spoons to cover their ears very deeply and hard. Our tympanic membrane is a very thin membrane, so that it is easy to injure the tympanic membrane or ossicle, causing perforation of the tympanic membrane, affecting hearing, and even leading to otitis media.
