Petersen, P. Borggreven, V. Koot, M. Tegelberg, P. Lohuis] Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) has become an epidemic disease and is predominantly located in the head and neck area. While historically auricular NMSCs are treated by means of a wedge excision, we describe a more elegant technique with excellent esthetical results. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 43 consecutive patients with NMSC of the auricle who underwent reconstruction with a full thickness skin graft (FTSG). All grafts survived. Two patients (5%) showed crust formation, but fully recovered. One patient had an irradical resection for which he required a limited re-excision. All patients showed excellent esthetical results. When treating NMSC of the auricle, reconstruction with a FTSG demonstrates several important advantages. It is a relatively simple but oncological safe technique; it leads to excellent esthetical and functional outcomes, and shows high patient and surgeon satisfaction.
