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. Back to Top
