This study presents a surgical technique combining Z-plasty and advancement flap for cryptotia correction. The method offers a simple incision design and broad applicability for various cryptotia cases.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Congenital Deformity Correction

Background:

  • Cryptotia is a congenital ear deformity characterized by the upper pole of the auricle being buried.
  • Existing surgical techniques may have limitations in addressing varying degrees of deformity and skin laxity.

Observation:

  • A novel surgical approach utilizing Z-plasty and an advancement flap for cryptotia repair was developed.
  • This technique focuses on a straightforward skin incision pattern.

Findings:

  • The combined Z-plasty and advancement flap technique effectively corrects cryptotia.
  • The method is adaptable to cases beyond severe cartilage deformities or extreme skin deficiency.

Implications:
