Anatomy of the Ear

Anatomy of the Ear

Auditory sensation, commonly called hearing, involves the transformation of sonic waves into neural impulses facilitated by the structures of the auditory organ. The prominent, flesh-like structure on the side of the head, called the auricle, directs sound waves towards the auditory canal. The auricle is often mislabeled as the pinna, a term more aligned with mobile structures like a feline's external ear. The auditory canal penetrates the cranium via the external auditory meatus of the...

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Congenital Malformations
Otolaryngology

Background:

Stahl's ear is a rare congenital auricular malformation characterized by an abnormal third crus.
Existing surgical treatments for Stahl's ear have limitations in correcting all variations of the deformity.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a novel surgical technique for correcting Stahl's ear deformity.
To achieve a natural-looking auricular appearance in patients with Stahl's ear.

Main Methods:

A technique involving cartilage scoring and a folding cartilage flap was employed.
The procedure included dissecting anterior skin to form a fan-shaped flap and suturing it to create the superior crus.

Main Results:

The technique was applied to 17 patients aged 9 to 46 years.
All operated ears achieved normal size and shape.
Patient and family satisfaction was high, with no reported complications.

Conclusions:

A new, simple, and effective method for correcting Stahl's ear deformity has been developed.
The technique demonstrates successful outcomes in a cohort of 17 patients.
