Summary
Secondary ear surgeries address issues like recurrence, overcorrection, and pain. Treatments include various surgical techniques and physiotherapy, emphasizing specialist care for complex reconstructions.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Otolaryngology
Background:
- Secondary surgeries for the external ear encompass otoplasties and reconstructions.
- Common reasons for secondary otoplasties include recurrence, overcorrection, asymmetry, prominent lobule, and chronic ear pain.
Purpose of the Study:
- To categorize secondary ear surgeries and outline their respective causes and treatment modalities.
- To highlight key considerations for successful ear reconstruction.
Main Methods:
- Review of common etiologies for secondary otoplasty.
- Description of surgical techniques for recurrence, overcorrection, and lobule prominence.
- Outline of conservative management for chronic ear pain.
- Emphasis on preserving specific tissues for ear reconstruction.
Main Results:
- Secondary otoplasties address recurrence (posterior stitch, Earfold, frame stitch), overcorrection (cartilage grafts, hyaluronic acid), off-centered ears, prominent lobules (posterior stitch, VY flap), and chronic ear pain (physiotherapy).
- Successful ear reconstruction relies on preserving retroauricular skin and superficial temporal fascia.
- Secondary ear reconstructions are complex and require specialized surgical expertise.
Conclusions:
- Various techniques exist for correcting secondary otoplasty deformities and symptoms.
- Preservation of specific anatomical structures is crucial for complex ear reconstructions.
- Specialized surgical knowledge is essential for managing secondary ear reconstruction cases.

137.3K
One example of how cells use the energy contained in electrochemical gradients is demonstrated by glucose transport into cells. The ion vital to this process is sodium (Na+), which is typically present in higher concentrations extracellularly than in the cytosol. Such a concentration difference is due, in part, to the action of an enzyme “pump” embedded in the cellular membrane that actively expels Na+ from a cell. Importantly, as this pump contributes to the high concentration of...

01:11Work Done on a System by External Force
2.9K
The work done by an external force on a particle changes its kinetic energy. However, internal forces must also be considered for a system of interacting particles. The potential energy formulation helps formulate the effect of internal forces. The net work done by an external force can be written in terms of the total change of mechanical energy, which includes both kinetic and potential energies.

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident.

Vascular plants, which account for over 90% of the Earth’s vegetation, all undergo primary growth—which lengthens roots and shoots. Many land plants, notably woody plants, also undergo secondary growth—which thickens roots and shoots.

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...

Secondary distribution systems provide electrical energy at the utilization voltage levels from distribution transformers to customer meters. Typical secondary voltages in the United States include 120/240 V for residential use, 208Y/120 V for residential and commercial use, and 480Y/277 V for industrial and high-rise commercial use.
In residential areas, 120/240 V single-phase, three-wire service is commonly used for lighting, outlets, and large appliances. Urban areas with high-density loads...
