    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Otolaryngology
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Cryptotia is a common congenital ear anomaly, particularly prevalent in the Japanese population, affecting approximately 1 in 400 individuals.
    • Existing treatments for cryptotia have varying degrees of success and applicability across different age groups.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the prosthesis method for correcting cryptotia.
    • To determine the optimal age range and applicability of the prosthesis method for cryptotia correction.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved 26 cases (31 auricles) treated with the prosthesis method.
    • Treatment outcomes were categorized as good, fair, or poor based on the degree of correction achieved.

    Main Results:

    • The prosthesis method yielded good results in 15 cases, fair results in 10 cases, and poor results in 1 case.
    • Complete correction, including cartilage, was achievable in patients up to 8 years old.
    • Skin extension correction was effective for older age groups, with the method applicable from 2-3 years of age.

    Conclusions:

    • The prosthesis method is an effective treatment for cryptotia, offering good to fair results in the majority of cases.
    • This method provides a viable surgical option for cryptotia correction across a wider age range than previously considered.
    • The prosthesis method allows for complete auricular correction in younger patients and effective skin-based correction in older individuals.
