This study presents a new surgical technique for correcting Stahl's ear, a challenging auricular malformation. The described operation involves cartilage grafting and excision, yielding satisfactory outcomes in initial cases.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Congenital Malformations

Background:

  • Stahl's ear is a rare congenital auricular malformation characterized by an abnormal projection of the superior crus of the antihelix.
  • This condition can lead to significant cosmetic concerns and is often challenging to treat effectively.

Observation:

  • The study details a novel surgical approach for correcting Stahl's ear.
  • The procedure involves specific steps including wedge excision of anterior skin and cartilage, excision of the abnormal helix, and the use of a conchal cartilage graft.

Findings:

  • The surgical technique was applied to five patients diagnosed with Stahl's ear.
  • All five cases demonstrated satisfactory aesthetic and functional results following the corrective surgery.

Implications:

  • This operative method offers a viable solution for correcting Stahl's ear, a previously difficult-to-treat condition.
  • The successful application in multiple cases suggests potential for wider adoption in managing this auricular deformity.
