摘　　要：Aim:Auricular seroma is a cystic swelling with a collection of serous fluid between the perichondrium and cartilage.The successful treatment of auricular seromas remains a challenge because this disease has a high propensity for recurrence.Methods:A total of 20 patients with auricular seromas were treated by remodeling a corrugated rubber drain.Results:All patients tolerated the procedure well.No patient had any collection of fluid after the removal of the splint.No patient experienced pain,fever,or edema after treatment.The seroma disappeared without disfigurement.There were no recurrences on further follow-up.Conclusion:Aspiration and splint application by remodeling a corrugated rubber drain provides very simple,minimally invasive,and effective management of seromas.It is a cost-effective treatment that prevents patient distress from fluid recollection and social embarrassment.
