Abstract

En 中文
Introduction: Pseudocyst of pinna is a cystic swelling of pinna in which collection of serous fluid occurs between the auricular cartilage and perichondrium. Successful treatment of pseudocyst of pinna is very challenging because of high chances of recurrence and cosmetic deformity. Various treat ment modalities have been described in the literature but none gives fully satisfactory result. Aim: To present a new surgical technique for treating pseudocyst of pinna and to evaluate recovery and recurrence. Materials and Methods: A prospective interventional study was done on 38 patients with pseudocyst of pinna at the Department of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT), Sheikh Bhikhari Medical College, Hazaribag, Jharkhand, India, from September 2022 to February 2025. Aspiration and drainage with creation of a small triangular window in the most dependent part of pseudocyst was done. Mechanical obliteration of dead space was done with compression suture. Suture was removed on 7th postoperative day by the time window heals by secondary healing. Patients were kept on regular followup. The data were collected and entered in Excel sheet. The data was presented in the form of frequency table and percentages. Results: Most of the patients in the present study were males (89%) with a mean age of 29 years and around 37% patients belonged between 21 to 30 years. All of them had unilateral pinna involvement. The concha was the most common site. Recurrence was not seen in any of them. One patient developed thickening of pinna due to late presentation. Conclusion: Small triangular draining window in the most dependent part of pseudocyst with compression suture gives faster recovery, good cosmetic outcome and recurrence can be prevented.
