Structures removed include the sleeve area of the outer ear plus the middle ear. That is what the sleeve resection consists of.
was it a complete amputation of the external ear?
The physician removes the diseased external ear in entirety with a surgical blade. The procedure is adopted when the whole external ear has been invaded by a tissue lesion (such as an extensive carcinoma of the external ear and auditory canal).
Can you redact the procedure in detail?

Thanks
