Abstract:Objective To report application of heterogeneous acellular dermal matrix grafts in skin defect repair af-ter resection of external ear neoplasms. Methods From January 2013 to March 2016, 32 patients (14 with auricular neo-plasms and 18 with external auditory canal neoplasms) received heterogeneous acellular dermal matrix grafts for skin de-fect repair after removal of external ear neoplasms, and were followed-up for 6 months. Results The wound healed well in all patients, with no obvious scar or contracture, external auditory canal atresia or stenosis, nor reject reaction of trans-plantation. None of the 32 patients showed significant systemic adverse reaction. Conclusions Heterogeneous dermal acellular matrix transplant can be used as a simple, safe and reliable method for repairing skin defect after removal of ex-ternal ear neoplasms, and is worth broad clinical applications.
