To investigate the management of granulation tissue during surgery for infected congenital preauricular fistula and to assess the surgical outcomes. To summarize the surgical methods and the treatment of granulation methods in 140 cases of congenital preauricular fistula during the period of infection treated in our department from January 2018 to September 2022. The study divided patients into an observation group （79 patients） undergoing fistulectomy without granulation treatment, and a control group （61 patients） where fistulectomy and granulation resection were performed concurrently.. After six months of follow-up, the wound healing, recurrence rates, and the aesthetic assessment of granulation healing were evaluated using the Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale（SBSES）. The two surgical approaches were applied to a total of 140 patients with infected congenital preauricular fistula. There was no statistical difference in wound healing and recurrence rates between the observation group and the control group. However, the observation group exhibited smaller scars. In cases of infected congenital preauricular fistula, surgical removal without excising granulation tissue is feasible, leading to effective healing and lesser scar formation.

Background: The auricle, or auricula, defines the visible boundaries of the external ear and is essential in forensic investigations, including facial reconstruction and human remains identification. Beyond its forensic significance, auricular morphology attracts interest from various fields, such as medicine and industry. The size of the ears is culturally associated with health and longevity, while surgical techniques for ear reconstruction address both congenital and aesthetic concerns.

Congenital hiatal hernia is a rare congenital defect and often occurs at a sporadic basis, but familial cases have also been reported. Here, we report on a 3-year-old male patient of Middle-Eastern descent, diagnosed at 5 months of age patient presenting with a congenital hiatal hernia, vermis hypoplasia manifested by axial hypotonia and horizontal nystagmus, preauricular tag, and dysmorphic features with negative genetic mutations, not fitting any reported association or syndrome, suggesting the potential existence of a novel disease entity and highlighting the necessity for further exploration into rare genetic conditions for comprehensive patient care and syndrome characterization.

Kabuki syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by distinct facial features, including long palpebral fissures, a short columella with a flat, broad nasal tip, ptosis, and cleft lip/palate. The syndrome was named for the resemblance of the facial features to the make-up worn by traditional Kabuki performers. We report the case of a 10-month-old female infant admitted for cleft palate repair.

Haploinsufficiency of SF3B2 is associated with craniofacial microsomia, characterized by mandibular hypoplasia and microtia, often with preauricular tags or pits, epibulbar dermoids, and cleft palate. In addition, extracraniofacial anomalies may be present, such as skeletal, cardiac renal, and abnormalities of the central nervous system. Variants have been either de novo or inherited, and both inter- and intrafamilial variability has been observed.
