The Antia-Buch flap is a chondrocutaneous helical advancement flap done as a single stage procedure to reconstruct the helix. Here, we present a 62 year old male patient with basal cell carcinoma of the middle 3rd of the helix of the left pinna. He underwent local excision with a 0.5cm margin and the resulting defect was reconstructed with an Antia-Buch chondrocutaneous helical advancement flap.
