Wedge excision is a popular and well documented surgical method for treating a wide range of skin lesions and cancers of the ear in the general practice setting. In the majority of cases, this is a simple and cosmetically pleasing treatment. However, it may create helical rim deformity. This article describes a simple method of preventing such deformity using prophylactic Z-plasty.
