The conchal flap: an adjunct in otoplasty.

M Spira, S Stal

    Annals of Plastic Surgery
    |October 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study presents a modified conchal set-back technique for correcting protruding ears caused by enlarged concha. The new method effectively reduces ear protrusion by repositioning the concha closer to the scalp.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Protruding ears, often due to conchal abnormalities, can impact self-esteem.
    • The conchal set-back is an established surgical correction for such deformities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified conchal set-back technique for correcting protruding ears.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of this surgical modification.

    Main Methods:

    • A modification of the conchal set-back procedure is detailed.
    • This involves elevating and suturing a posterior cartilage flap to the mastoid process.
    • The technique is often combined with antihelix reconstruction methods.

    Main Results:

    • The modified maneuver effectively reduces ear protrusion by bringing the concha closer to the scalp.
    • The residual deformity in the conchal bowl after flap elevation is minimal.
    • Successful correction is achieved with careful pre-operative analysis of the deformity.

    Conclusions:

    • The described modification of the conchal set-back is a safe and effective technique for correcting protruding ears.
    • It offers a valuable option for cases involving conchal enlargement or abnormal angulation.
    • Accurate assessment of the deformity is crucial for optimal surgical outcomes.
