Pocketed V-Flap Technique for Traumatic Earlobe Cleft Repair: A Case Report

Öz

Traumatic cleft earlobe repair is challenging in children, where maintaining contour and minimizing tissue loss are key. Traditional straight-line closures, Z-plasties, and local flaps can cause notching, asymmetry, or volume imbalance. We describe a pocketed V-flap technique elevating a V-shaped flap from the lateral cleft edge and insetting it into a midline pocket created on the medial lobe. The medial margin is freshened, a precise pocket is formed, and the lateral flap is advanced and secured, followed by layered closure. Used in a 7-year-old girl with a complete traumatic cleft, this method provided tension-free repair, symmetric contour, and stable projection with no early complications. The pocketed V-flap is a reproducible option for pediatric cleft earlobe repair, optimizing contour, reducing notching risk, and potentially lowering recurrence by stabilizing the flap within the medial pocket.
