Abstract

CONTEXT: Many methods of treatment have been described for treatment of haematoma auris-mainly surgical. They have their limitations. AIM: To devise a simple, sustainable and repeatable method of treatment for haematoma auris. SETTINGS: Patients presenting with haematoma auris have been treated with a new method of surgical treatment. Designed to overcome the limitations of already described methods. STUDY: Retrospective study. DESIGN: After incision and drainage of the haematoma, a sterile polythene tube is placed in the cavity which acts like a stent and drain and prevents reaccumulation of fluid. RESULTS: All the procedures resulted in good recovery with cosmetic satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: This method is repeatable, less time consuming, not difficult to master and can be done as an outpatient procedure.
