Abstract:
Objective:To study the effect of individualized treatment of prominent ears using mattress suture combined tubed cartilage method.
Methods:A total of 21 patients (28 ears) with prominent ear deformity were retrospectively analyzed from January 2013 to December 2015. Horizontal mattress suture and tubed cartilage were used to correct the deformed ears. The patients were followed up for 6 months to 1 year (mean: 9 months).
Results:Hematoma occurred in 3 cases after operation, but the wounds were healed after removal of hematoma. No infection, flap necrosis, cartilage absorption or deformation, or other complications occurred. 28 ears were corrected. The shape of the antihelix was smooth and the auriculocephalic angle and scapha-conchal angle were significantly reduced, compared with preoperative. No obvious scar hypertrophy was left on incision.
Conclusions:The method of horizontal mattress suture combined with tubed cartilage is simple to use for prominent ear, result in satisfactory and stable outcomes.
