Auricular deformities, specifically, prominent ears, are relatively frequent. Although the physiologic consequences are negligible, the aesthetic and psychological effects on the patient can be substantial.
Otoplasty techniques are used to correct many auricular deformities, including the prominent ear, the constricted ear, Stahl's deformity, and cryptotia. Various treatments and techniques have been developed for the correction of these deformities, including methods that excise, bend, suture, scratch, or reposition the auricular cartilage.
The multitude of different approaches indicates that there is not one clearly definitive technique for correcting these problems.
This article reviews the history of otoplasty, its anatomical basis and a method for evaluation, techniques for the correction of the deformity, and potential complications of the procedure.
耳部畸形,特别是招风耳,相对较为常见。尽管其生理影响可忽略不计,但对患者的美学和心理影响可能很大。
耳整形技术用于矫正多种耳部畸形,包括招风耳、杯状耳、斯塔尔畸形和隐耳。已经开发出各种治疗方法和技术来矫正这些畸形,包括切除、弯曲、缝合、刮擦或重新定位耳廓软骨的方法。
众多不同的方法表明,没有一种明确的决定性技术来矫正这些问题。
本文回顾了耳整形的历史、其解剖学基础和评估方法、畸形矫正技术以及该手术的潜在并发症。
