Objective: To discuss the techniques and repairing methods of various degree of compound tissue defects in the auriculotemporal region. Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on three cases of different repairing methods for huge compound tissue defects in different degrees in the auriculotemporal region after the resection of the malignant tumor or sinus tract due to repeated infection in our hospital. Results: Following total removal of the tumors or sinus tract in all patients, we applied retroauricular lingual flap transfer repairing, latissimus dorsi flap free transfer repairing and vascular anastomosis, scalp tissue expansion in stage Ⅰ, then repairing the lesion with expanded scalp and filling the huge mastoid cavity with abdominal fat in stage Ⅱ, respectively, according to the characteristics of compound tissue defects in the auriculotemporal region. All free flaps survived well. Conclusions: The anatomy of the auricular-temporal area is complex and involves important vascular and neural structures of head and neck and lateral skull base. The huge composite tissue defect following auriculotemporal region surgery, which is composed of skin, muscle and bone tissue, needs to be repaired in one stage. Therefore, flexible repairing methods should be chosen based on different situations, for attaining the goal of completely removing tumor and lesions, and then, covering the operation cavity.
目的： 探讨耳颞区域不同程度复合组织缺损的修复方式。 方法： 回顾分析解放军总医院3例因耳颞区恶性肿瘤或反复感染形成窦道手术后出现耳颞区不同程度巨大复合组织缺损而行修复治疗患者的临床资料。 结果： 对患者的肿瘤或病灶完整切除后，根据手术切除后于耳颞区留下不同程度的复合组织缺损的位置和特点分别实施耳后舌形瓣转移修复、吻合血管蒂游离背阔肌皮瓣转移修复、Ⅰ期头皮扩张Ⅱ期病变清除腹部脂肪术腔充填修复，术后皮瓣全部成活修复效果良好。 结论： 耳颞区解剖复杂涉及头颈及侧颅底重要血管神经结构，术后形成的由皮肤、肌肉和骨组织组成的巨大复合组织缺损多需一期修复，应根据不同情况灵活选择修复方法，达到彻底切除肿瘤、清除病灶同时覆盖术腔修复缺损的目的。.
