Otoplasty Using a Modified Anterior Scoring Technique Standardized Measurements of Long-term Results

摘要

Objective: To evaluate long-term results of otoplasty using standardized measurements.Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients who underwent otoplasty using a modified anterior scoring technique combined with postauricular fixation sutures. Two hundred twenty-two consecutive patients (421 primary otoplasties) were included. Each auricle was examined before surgery, after surgery, and at a long-term follow-up visit, and the distance between the lateral helical rim and the mastoid surface was measured at 3 points. In addition, patient satisfaction was evaluated using a questionnaire.
