Autopsy of an auricle hematoma
Removal of accumulated blood from under the skin of the auricle for pain relief and proper restoration of the shape of the ear.
A hematoma of the auricle is often found in athletes and is the result of injury. Blood accumulating under the skin forms a tumor, which can lead to deformation of the ear.
An examination by an otolaryngologist and sometimes an ultrasound of the auricle is required to assess the condition of the hematoma. It is recommended to abstain from eating and drinking liquids a few hours before the procedure.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. The doctor makes a small incision on the auricle and gently removes the accumulated blood. After that, a drain can be installed to prevent the re-accumulation of liquid.
The patient should avoid physical exertion and ear injury for several days after the procedure. It is important to follow all the doctor's recommendations and, if necessary, visit him for a follow-up examination.
Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is an autopsy of an ear hematoma required?
- Prevention of complications: If the hematoma is not opened, it can lead to necrosis (necrosis) of the cartilage, which can cause ear deformity.
Aesthetic considerations: Hematoma removal helps to prevent cosmetic defects of the auricle, such as "boxer's ear", which occurs with frequent ear injury.
- Prevention of infection: In some cases, a hematoma can become infected, and an autopsy allows the pus to drain and prevent further spread of the infection.
