Use of Thermoplastic Splint for the Treatment of Auricular Hematoma.
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery 2020 November
Auricular hematoma is commonly seen in ear nose and throat clinical practice and mostly caused by blunt trauma as a result of traffic accident, wrestling, boxing etc. If hematoma does not discharge, blood supply of the cartilage fails and this results with the necrosis of the auricular cartilage. Incision and drainage of the hematoma is the cornerstone of the surgical treatment and simple compression methods are limited in terms of their ability to eliminate the empty space. Various techniques have been described for the elimination of the death space such as; dental rolls, cotton bolsters, buttons, silastic sheets, etc but compression materials may be insufficient to apply this pressure because of irregular shape of auricle. Resolving these problems, the authors have used thermoplastic splint as a compressive material at 7 patients for elimination of the death space in auricular hematoma treatment.
