Background: Surgical exposure of postauricular skin lesions is challenging.

Method: Using a sterile dressing to expose the location of postauricular: A V-shaped notch (one-third of the side length) is cut at the dressing midline. The auricle is folded and secured within the notch.

Result: Folding and fixing the auricle into the dressing notch improves surgical exposure and minimizes contamination risks.

Conclusion: The intraoperative use of dressings to expose postauricular skin lesions is a convenient and low-cost method worthy of clinical promotion.

背景: 术后auricular皮肤病变的外科暴露具有挑战性。

方法: 使用无菌敷料来暴露postauricular部位：在敷料中线处切割一个V形缺口（长度为三分之一），将auricle折叠并固定在该缺口内。

结果: 将auricle折叠并固定在敷料的缺口内，可以改善手术暴露，并减少污染风险。

结论: 在术中使用敷料来暴露postauricular皮肤病变是一种方便且低成本的方法，值得临床推广。
