Abstract :
OBJECTIVE
The recurrence rate after excision of pre auricular sinus is known to be high. Various surgical techniques have been described to prevent recurrence. In this line, this study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of the supra–auricular approach technique with standard technique.
STUDY DESIGN
Prospective study
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 45 patients with pre auricular sinus were conveniently selected for this study. The patients were divided into two groups.24 patients were operated with supra–auricular approach technique and 21 with the standard technique. The recurrence rate of these two groups was statistically analyzed using Student t test and the results were discussed. Statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used for the analysis.
RESULTS
The surgical outcomes of 45 patients with symptomatic pre auricular sinus revealed that the
overall recurrence rate was found to be 11.11%. With the performance of standard technique the recurrence rate was recorded as 23.81% and on the other hand, the supra auricular approach showed a nil recurrence.
CONCLUSION
The supra–auricular approach for excision of pre auricular sinus has no recurrence rate when compared to the standard technique and hence concluded that supra–auricular approach was found better for adoption.
