Anecdotally, many patients suffer some numbness of the pinna or post-auricular skin post-operatively, but for most this appears to reduce with time. This study aimed to investigate this phenomenon.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S002221511100199X_sec2\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A single centre, questionnaire-based study was undertaken, assessing the presence of numbness beyond eight months post-surgery, its location, how it changed, and its impact on the patient. Patients whose numbness had resolved provided details of any temporary deficit.

Twenty-six per cent had continued numbness after at least eight months' recovery, but only 3 per cent were constantly aware of the deficit. Of those with an ongoing deficit, 78 per cent felt there had been a reduction in the severity, and 67 per cent in the area size, over time. Recovery appeared to be slightly worse in revision cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s002221511100199x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,11]],"date-time":"2011-08-11T10:36:10Z","timestamp":1313058970000},"page":"1014-1019","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Cutaneous sensory deficit following post-auricular incision"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"125","author":[{"given":"S J","family":"Frampton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Pringle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"S002221511100199X_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/381069a0"},{"key":"S002221511100199X_ref11","first-page":"149","volume-title":"Nerve Injury and Repair","author":"Lundborg","year":"1988"},{"key":"S002221511100199X_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/318638"},{"key":"S002221511100199X_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/poq\/nfl035"},{"key":"S002221511100199X_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0266-4356(88)90161-1"},{"key":"S002221511100199X_ref2","unstructured":"2Consent: patients and doctors making decisions together.
