Ear Trauma :-
One Important thing about ear is that it’s a structure
supported by cartilage framework wrapped in skin envelope.
The cartilage is an avascular structure means it has no
definite blood supply and it depends upon surrounding skin
for its nutrition. So in cases of trauma if only skin is
lost and cartilage still there, it has very high chance of
desiccation ( dryness).
So it should be kept moist with normal saline soaked gauge
and some plastic surgeon should be seen urgently. Any
delay after a few hours may lead to cartilage desiccation
and loss, making a major reconstruction inevitable later
on.
If it has been transected, the detached piece of ear
should be washed with simple water and carried along with.
He cartilage part can be harvested and banked in your body
and can be reused later on. Ear re-implantation is
also possible, if trauma is not severe laceration.
