Abstract:
This new method for the correction of a prominent ear is original, simple, and efficient. It consists of the retroauricular fixation of the scapha by means of three stitches of polyglycolic acid suture in the posterior auricular muscle after a wide dissection. This results in a transposition of this muscle on the scapha which assures a harmony of the latter with a gentle naturally rounded antihelix. Thus one achieves the main aims of this type of operation with a very simple technique.
