Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of negative-suction drainage for ear reconstruction and its relationship with constructed ear shape. Methods A continuous negative suction drain system with 20 mL syringe was used in 50 cases, which were treated by one stage operation of ear reconstruction. During the first three days after operation, the amount of fluid from the scapha and the concha were recorded separately. The ear shape and the circulation of the flap were observed simultaneously. Results During the ...
