Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Guiding sutures simplify prominent ear correction surgery, leading to high patient satisfaction and a low complication rate. This technique offers a shorter operative and recovery time for otoplasty.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Prominent ears are the most common head and neck congenital anomaly.
  • Understanding prominent ear definitions is crucial for effective treatment.
  • This study introduces guiding sutures as a preliminary step for antihelix correction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of guiding sutures in prominent ear correction.
  • To assess surgical outcomes and patient/surgeon satisfaction.
  • To analyze the impact on health-related quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 60 patients with prominent ears (Jan 2021-Feb 2023).
  • Inclusion of patients undergoing guiding sutures followed by Mustardé-based otoplasty.
  • Evaluation of surgical outcomes, operative time, and satisfaction levels.

Main Results:

  • Mean operative time was 49±22 minutes.
  • High patient satisfaction (91.66%) with final ear appearance.
  • Low complication rate: 5 cases of suture extrusion, no asymmetry or recurrence.

Conclusions:

  • Guiding sutures facilitate antihelix reshaping, reducing operative time.
  • Stable reshaping leads to shorter recovery and a low complication rate.
  • Local anesthesia cases showed improved operative time and pain control.
