    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Chronic otitis externa presents challenges in management.
    • A narrow external auditory orifice can complicate treatment and patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a meatoplasty technique for chronic otitis externa.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of this meatoplasty in widening the superficial meatus.

    Main Methods:

    • A meatoplasty technique involving elimination of the conchal bowl-posterior canal rim.
    • Surgical thinning of the meatal skin.
    • Increasing the circumference of the external auditory orifice.

    Main Results:

    • The described meatoplasty technique proved successful in treating chronic otitis externa.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The procedure effectively opens the superficial meatus.
  • Skin thinning and increased orifice circumference were achieved.

    • Conclusions:

    • Meatoplasty is an effective surgical option for chronic otitis externa.
    • This technique offers a method to improve the anatomy of the external auditory canal.
    • Successful treatment relies on widening the ear canal opening.
