Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Prominauris, or prominent ears, is a common auricular deformity.
  • It often results from an underdeveloped antihelical fold or an overdeveloped conchal bowl.
  • This condition can lead to significant psychosocial distress, necessitating surgical intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the critical role of anatomical understanding in correcting prominent ears.
  • To review surgical techniques for prominent ear correction.
  • To highlight the importance of preoperative evaluation and specific surgical techniques for optimal results.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed analysis of normal and prominent ear anatomy.
  • Review of various surgical techniques developed for prominent ear correction.
  • Emphasis on meticulous, cartilage-sparing approaches.

Main Results:

  • Surgical correction of prominent ears is generally well-tolerated.
  • Careful preoperative assessment is key to successful outcomes.
  • Adherence to cartilage-sparing techniques is associated with good results and low complication rates.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of ear anatomy is fundamental for effective surgical correction of prominent ears.
  • Cartilage-sparing surgical techniques, combined with thorough preoperative evaluation, yield favorable outcomes.
  • The described surgical approach offers a safe and effective solution for prominent ear deformities.
