Fourteen non-hypoplastic congenitally deformed ears were treated with a simple splint with satisfactory results in all but one. These deformities can be treated non-surgically in the early neonatal period, effectively, without anaesthetic, and with minimal cost. We confirm other reports that better results are obtained and a shorter duration of splintage is needed if treatment is started early in the neonatal period. Our neonatal paediatric colleagues and midwives should be encouraged to manage these deformities in this way, and the need for surgical correction may be largely avoided in the future.
14例非发育不全的先天性畸形耳采用简单夹板治疗，除1例效果欠佳外，其余均取得满意效果。这些畸形在新生儿早期可采用非手术治疗，有效、无需麻醉且成本极低。我们证实了其他报告的观点，即如果在新生儿期早期开始治疗，可获得更好的效果且夹板固定时间更短。应鼓励我们的新生儿儿科同事和助产士以这种方式处理这些畸形，这样未来很大程度上可避免手术矫正的需求。
