| Title | Otoplasty technique: how I do it. | | Author(s) | Burningham AR, Stucker FJ | | Institution | Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, 1501 Kings Highway, Shreveport, LA 71130, USA. | | Source | Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am 2006 May; 14(2):73-7, v. | | Abstract | This article describes the combined conchal cartilage resection and mattress suture technique for the treatment of protruding ears. It is a reproducible, versatile, and safe procedure. The technique improves the protrusion, symmetry, and form of the ear by addressing the poorly developed or absent antihelical fold and the abnormally large concha. It has been used for many years and has produced consistently good long-term results. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
