INTRODUCTION: First described by Binder in 1889, Stahl’s deformity is a distinct ear anomaly. There is currently lack of consensus about the type of surgical repair performed.

The purpose of this article is to describe our surgical approach, which corrects the 5 distinct problems associated with a Stahl’s ear deformity while avoiding a visible scar and other new deformities.
