Abstract

The retroauricular island flap (flip-flop flap), was described by Masson in 1972 and con- sists on dermoepidermal tissue irrigated by a random subcutaneous pedicle of branches of the posterior auricular artery. It comes from the mastoid and retroauricular region and provides a good coverage for the anteromedial region of the pinna. Two cases are described, in which immediate coverage was performed secondary to a defect in the auricular concha after a neoplastic resection, obtaining satisfactory results without complications.
