Torn and split earlobes are common and often due to earring trauma. Repair of split earlobe clefts is one of the most common problems in plastic surgery. However, little has been written recently about this subject. This article compares our technique for repairing cleft earlobes with other described techniques. The technique presented is sound, simple in concept, technically undemanding to perform, and has definite advantages over other methods currently in use. A waiting period before repiercing the ear is suggested to allow the earlobe tissue to soften and assume its final shape. Neither recurrence nor notching of the lobule has been a problem.
耳垂撕裂和裂开很常见，通常是由耳环创伤引起的。修复耳垂裂是整形手术中最常见的问题之一。然而，最近关于这个主题的著述很少。本文将我们修复耳垂裂的技术与其他已描述的技术进行了比较。所介绍的技术可靠，概念简单，操作技术要求不高，并且比目前使用的其他方法有明显优势。建议在重新穿耳洞前有一段等待期，以使耳垂组织软化并呈现其最终形状。小叶既没有复发也没有出现切口问题。
