While practicing ground skills and jujitsu wrestling ... sparring partners and athletes repeatedly suppress each other on the floor. Ears often rub training pads or exercise clothes, etc ... leading to ear congestion, ear bone damage, etc ... In the long run, ears will gradually grow and deform. ......

Therefore, a player with cauliflower ears is a sign of hard training.

Brief introduction of cauliflower spike

After the auricle is squeezed or twisted and other closed injuries, hematoma is formed under the eardrum due to oozing blood, which leads to ischemic necrosis of auricle cartilage. The necrotic tissue is gradually organized into connective tissue, and the fibrous connective tissue is easy to contract, which makes the auricle gradually thicken and contract. There are many irregular protrusions on the surface, and there are shrinkage gaps with different shades between the protrusions, which are cauliflower-like, so it is called cauliflower ear malformation.

Plastic treatment of cauliflower ear deformity should be carried out after the inflammation has completely subsided and the condition is stable. Cauliflower ear surgery is a very difficult plastic surgery, which usually requires multiple operations to complete, and the final effect is not ideal. There are almost no perfect repair results in clinic. Therefore, it is very important to prevent ear infection and early active treatment after auricle is squeezed or injured.

The treatment of cauliflower ear is difficult and not suitable for achieving good results. Surgery is needed after the inflammation completely disappears and the condition is stable. It usually takes at least half a year. The operation is to peel off the skin and cartilage to form a flap, expose the thickened fibrous tissue and deformed cartilage, and properly thin, loosen, flatten or shape it to conform to the original anatomical shape. Because the peeling range of the flap should not be too large, so as to avoid necrosis due to blood supply disorder, it often needs multiple operations to complete. For those with more cartilage necrosis and relatively loose skin, autologous costal cartilage transplantation can be used to repair the ear bracket. If the skin is relatively insufficient, auricle reconstruction can be used according to the situation.

Cauliflower ear symptoms

1. There are countless irregular protrusions on the surface of the ear, and there are creases and gaps between the protrusions, which look like cauliflower.

2. Hard to touch

3. There is often tenderness

Plastic surgery for cauliflower ear deformity is a very difficult operation, which is usually carried out after the inflammation is completely dissipated and the condition is stable. It can be cut at 0.5 cm along the edge of the helix on the front side of the auricle, carefully peeled off between the uneven skin and cartilage to form a flap, exposing the deformed cartilage, and then thinning, loosening or shaping the thickened cartilage appropriately to make it conform to the original anatomical shape. Finally, the flat flap is covered on the cut cartilage surface, and the redundant part is removed. After suturing the incision, according to the convex and concave shape of the auricle, cotton balls or soft gauze should be properly filled, and then pressure should be applied to bandage it. The peeling range of the flap should not be too wide, otherwise it will be necrotic due to blood supply disorder. Therefore, it often takes many operations to complete the plastic surgery of cauliflower ears, and the final surgical effect is often disappointing. There is almost no perfect repair effect in clinic.

Severe cauliflower ear deformity, although cartilage necrosis is more, but the skin tissue is often loose, can be repaired by autologous costal cartilage transplantation to form an ear bracket. For cauliflower ears with relatively insufficient skin, because the earlobe is often complete, the deformed part of the upper part of the auricle can be removed and the earlobe can be reserved for auricle reconstruction.

postoperative care

1, after ear surgery, patients should prevent sewage (when washing hair, showering and swimming) from entering the ear to avoid secondary infection in the surgical cavity.

2, pay attention to keep warm, try not to catch a cold, so as to avoid otitis media.

3. If you have facial paralysis, you can't close your eyes tightly. In order to protect the cornea, you should apply eye ointment and wear an eye mask at night.

What kind of cauliflower ears need plastic surgery?

1. History of trauma, burn and ear cartilage infection. 2. Auricles shrivel like cauliflower.

3. Hard to touch

4. There is often tenderness

5. Cauliflower-shaped ears can be seen, and auricle defects are caused by tissue damage.
