Abstract
Five cases of traumatic atresia of external ear canal were presented. In two cases of atresia at the bony ear canal which originated from temporal bone fracture the bony fragment and the scar were resected and the canal was enlarged. But no skin plantation was carried out. The rough surface was covered by epithelization from the surrounding skin of the canal. In a case of cartilaginous ear canal stenosis, the scar in the canal was resected and free skin plantation was carried out.
In the two cases of atresia at the introitus of the canal, the scar tissue was re- sected and the introitus was covered with a pedicle skin flap made Z-plasty technique.
To repair the traumatic stenosis, the surgical procedure should be selected according to the location of the stenosis.
