OBJECTIVES: Preauricular sinus (PAS) is a congenital anomaly that can progress to complicated cases with granulation tissue around the PAS area due to skin inflammation. Treatment involves incision and drainage or continuous dressing; however, surgical treatment may be necessary. We evaluated a surgical method for the effective treatment of complicated PAS.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 152 patients with PAS who were treated at a tertiary medical institution between September 2015 and June 2022. Data regarding age, sex, preoperative history related to PAS, a joint operation with a plastic surgeon, operation time, admission duration, follow-up duration, and postoperative complications were collected. The study population was divided into single-excision and double-excision with coaptation suture groups. The clinical characteristics were analyzed and compared between the two groups.
RESULTS: Surgical treatment for PAS was performed in 131 patients (166 ears) in the single-excision group and 21 patients (27 ears) in the double-excision group. The average age was 6.22 ± 4.06 years old, and the male-to-female ratio was similar in the single-excision group (M:F = 68:63) but higher for females in the double-excision group (M:F = 5:16) (p = 0.017). Joint surgeries with a plastic surgeon were more frequent in the double-excision group, and the operation time and admission duration were significantly longer. The preoperative history and postoperative complications (seven cases, 4.6 %) did not differ significantly between the two groups, although there was a higher percentage of complications in the double elliptical excision group.
CONCLUSIONS: Double excision with one or more coaptation sutures is an effective one-step method for complicated PAS with an acceptable aesthetic appearance of the scar, although it requires a longer operation time and admission duration for wound care. Further studies with larger and more diverse patient populations are needed to validate these findings.
