We developed a surgical technique to correct cryptotia using a subcutaneous pedicled flap raised from the retroauricular region. A skin paddle over the caudal part of the auricular sulcus is designed and transferred to the skin defect of the upper posterior surface of the auricle. This procedure has been performed on 17 ears in 14 patients with cryptotia since 1992. There were no postoperative complications, such as necrosis of the flaps or deformities, and cryptotia did not recur in any patient. A satisfactory auricular contour with a sufficiently deep auriculotemporal sulcus was preserved in all cases. The intraoperative procedure to correct cryptotia and outcomes obtained are presented herein and compared with other procedures.
我们开发了一种外科技术，使用从耳后区域掀起的皮下带蒂皮瓣来矫正隐耳。设计耳沟尾部上方的皮瓣并将其转移至耳廓上后表面的皮肤缺损处。自1992年以来，该手术已在14例隐耳患者的17只耳朵上实施。术后未出现皮瓣坏死或畸形等并发症，所有患者隐耳均未复发。所有病例均保留了具有足够深的耳颞沟的满意耳廓轮廓。本文介绍了矫正隐耳的术中操作及获得的结果，并与其他手术进行了比较。
