Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of microsurgical treatment of preauricular fistula (IPF). METHOD: The clinical data of 102 ears with IPF underwent microsurgical treatment were reviewed retrospectively. RESULT: One hundred ears (98.04%) recovered from the microsurgical treatment without recurrence. CONCLUSION: Microsurgical technique is simple, safe and valuable in treating IPF, particularly when it comes to the patients with post operational recurrence, repeated infection or too much scar tissue.
