Abstract

A great number of surgical techniques for the correction of protruding ears have been developed. Their basic concepts originate from Mustardé's suture, the scoring technique described by Chongchet, Stenström, and Cricelair, and the combined suture and scoring technique described by Converse. Techniques for cavum rotation and lobuleplasty have also been presented. Indication, diagnostics, selection of method, the operative technique itself, and postoperative care are described. Advantages and risks of each technique are discussed, and a therapy algorithm is proposed.

Rolled auricular cartilage grafts for dorsal augmentation rhinoplasty.

We present a technique, which has not been previously described in the literature, of using rolled autogenous conchal cartilage for dorsal augmentation via an endonasal or external rhinoplasty approach. This technique gives greater dorsal height compared with the more common layering techniques. It is most appropriate in the minimally or moderately saddled nose.

Repair of tympanic membrane perforation using a modified cartilage-perichondrium composite ring graft.

Ring graft is a modified cartilage-perichondrium composite graft (CPCG) with only a peripheral ring shaped cartilage. In this series, tympanic membrane perforations were repaired using (ring graft) during treatment of 18 cases of non-cholesteatomatous chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). This study showed that ring graft has the advantages of both CPCG and perichondrial graft but without their disadvantages. Complete closure of the perforations was achieved in all cases without delay in hearing improvement. It is recommended to use the ring graft whenever needed to repair central tympanic membrane perforations even with difficult anterior or total perforations.
