Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the surgical management experience for Stahl's ear.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of different surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical correction of 17 ears in 15 patients (ages 7-22) from 1994-1999.
  • Utilized suture-only technique for elastic cartilage and cartilage repositioning for inelastic cartilage.
  • Applied Sugino et al. method for cartilage repositioning.

Main Results:

  • Satisfactory surgical outcomes were achieved in all patients.
  • No significant correlations found with gender or race.
  • Unilateral deformities and right ear involvement were more common.

Conclusions:

  • Recommended surgical techniques for Stahl's ear correction.
  • Sutures and cartilage repositioning are effective based on cartilage elasticity.
