Deepithelized post-auricular skin as an adjunct to stitch-type prominent ear correction

摘要


Aims: Almost unlimited procedures for correction of prominent ear have been published. Purestiching type correction have complications like suture extrusion or recurrence. We proposed a new approach to secure concha-scaphal stiches. Methods: At posterior surface of auricula, a predetermined area is firstly deepitheliazed and then sutured with absorbable materials. A desired concha-scaphal angle is obtained with separate subcuticular stitches. Results: A total of nine patients were operated with the technique. five were bilateral and four were unilateral correction. No complication was seen during the follow-up period. Conclusion: The addition of the deepitheliazed post-auricular skin platform technique to the stich type otoplasty, is a useful refinement which maintains a simple, controllable course and avoids irreperable complications.
