Complete Salvage of Third-degree Burn of Ear by Repairing Gel-PRP-Fibrin Glue, A Case Report.

The ear is a very important facial feature and enhances the overall look of the face. Usually, patients with entire ear burns also have large areas of burn in their bodies. To save the patient, skin grafting to reduce the injured body surface area is prioritized and the treatment of the ears may be inevitably delayed, which results in minor to very severe cosmetic deformity. This has a deep effect on the life quality of a patient who survives a burn injury. Therefore, any step that decreases ear deformity or loss is very crucial for the patient. There are different challenging procedures for ear reconstruction which are very tedious works. In this study, for one patient, repairing gel-platelet-rich plasma-fibrin glue was applied for the treatment of a deep dermal burned ear as a novel, non-invasive, and simple approach to give a normal shape to the ear to prevent extensive morbidity during the acute phase and deformities later as a consequence of burns. No keloid is observed after treatment.
