Published:January 09, 2012DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bjps.2011.12.021

      Summary

      We detail our adjunct to Antia and Buch’s chondrocutaneous advancement flap for helical reconstruction. It is simple, reliable and negates the need for transfer of the defect to the lobule and/or V–Y advancement of the helical crus.
