Introduction
In general, papillomas of the external auditory canal mostly occur in the skin of the outer segment of the external auditory canal and are one of the most common benign tumors in this area. The primary treatment is surgical excision, which can be performed under local anesthesia. The specific procedural steps are as follows: 1. Administer local anesthesia. 2. After anesthesia is complete, position the patient supine on the operating table and perform routine disinfection and draping of the surgical site.

Generally, papillomas of the external auditory canal mostly occur in the skin of the outer segment of the external auditory canal and are one of the most common benign tumors in this area. The primary treatment is surgical removal, which can be performed under local anesthesia. The specific procedure is as follows:

1. Administer local anesthesia.

2. After anesthesia takes effect, position the patient supine on the operating table and perform routine disinfection and draping of the surgical site.

3. Use a nasal septum dissector to剥离 (dissect) the neoplasm along the wall of the external auditory canal. Grasp the base of the neoplasm with a small hemostatic clamp and remove it.

4. Cauterize the wound surface in the external auditory canal using an electrocautery knife, irrigate the canal with normal saline, and then dress the wound.

If this surgery is required, it is recommended to visit a正规 (reputable) hospital and have the procedure performed under the guidance of a qualified physician to minimize surgical risks. Postoperatively, ensure adequate rest, maintain healthy lifestyle habits, and avoid spicy or irritating foods that may impair recovery.
