Video Summary

The procedure involves creating flaps from a 6 mm vestige, splitting into 3 mm sections for anterior and posterior parts. An incision is made, noting asymmetry in the W flap, where the mastoid portion doesn't match the anterior lobule but still forms a W shape. The anterior tragal flap is detailed, emphasizing separation to maintain 3 mm width for two flaps. The anterior lobule flap is positioned to cover the framework's lobule portion. The skin flap should be about 2 mm thick without undermining the subcutaneous pedicle, avoiding vessel damage. The posterior lobule and mastoid flaps form a U-shape.
