| description | <strong>Background</strong>: Injuries to the pinna, caused by various causes, are not frequent, but they are always a challenge for the surgeon in charge of reconstruction.<br /><strong>Objective</strong>: to describe the results of reconstructive surgery of the pinna.<br /><strong>Methods</strong>: descriptive study, case series, carried out at the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima Hospital, Cienfuegos, in the period 2015-2019. Local anesthesia was applied in all the cases (5), and the Filatov tube techniques, and the retro auricular, of Dieffenbach, which were illustrated through images of the different cases. The age, sex and cause of the trauma were analyzed for each patient.<br /><strong>Results</strong>: the patients presented were relatively young, and only one was female. In 4 of them, the partial loss of the auricle was caused by trauma with sharp weapons and human bites, respectively; in the remaining patient, the absence of the structure was congenital. Both techniques (Filatov and Dieffenbach) for surgical reconstruction were combined in all, with a favorable aesthetic result.<br /><strong>Conclusion</strong>: The series presented, although not extensive, shows that it is possible to rehabilitate the structural defects of the auricle, either partially or totally, using simple surgical techniques that allow achieving the expected aesthetic result. |
