“…Prominent ear is the most frequent congenital external ear deformity, affecting roughly 5% of the general population. 1 – 3 Although the deformity presents with no functional problems, the condition often has significant psychological and social impacts on the patient, especially in children. 4 – 6 As such, otoplasty has become one of the most common aesthetic operations in children and adolescents.…”

Background: The Mustardé otoplasty is a commonly used procedure for the correction of the prominent ear deformity. Complication rates related to suture extrusion and long-term outcomes are variable in the literature. The study’s purpose was to examine the efficacy and safety of the Mustardé otoplasty and its resource utilization, using an “iron triangle” methodology incorporating quality, time, and cost. Methods: Retrospective data were collected on patients under 18 years who underwent primary Mustardé otoplasty between 2009 and 2018. Patient demographics, intraoperative details, complications, follow-up, and satisfaction were collected and analyzed. Results: There were 119 Mustardé otoplasties performed on 68 patients, with a median follow-up of 72 weeks (24–476 weeks). In total, 51 of the 68 patients underwent bilateral procedures. The median operative time was 95 minutes (31–133 minutes), translating to a facility case cost of $2046. A total of 24 complications were reported in 17 patients. Minor complications included the following: suture extrusion (n = 20), hematoma (n = 1), and suture abscess (n = 1). Major complications included reoperation (n = 2). The series had a revision rate of 1.7% (n = 2). No additional procedures were documented at other hospitals in the province. The majority (97%) of ear outcomes demonstrated both patient and surgeon satisfaction. Conclusions: The Mustardé otoplasty demonstrated a high efficacy in the correction of the prominent ear, with low reoperation rates and high patient and surgeon satisfaction. The procedure demonstrated intriguing results in resource utilization, with brief operative times, a “knife and fork” supply chain, and minimal overall case costs. This technique qualifies as a good, fast, and cheap outpatient otoplasty option.

“…In addition to these two publications, only in series published from Turkey, United Kingdom and our series (Finland) had age average below 10 years [18,23]. The oldest patients were in a series from USA (mean 38 years) [27], and an age average older than 20 years was reported in two publications from Brazil [14,25], one from Spain [7] and one from Turkey [11].…”

“…Such a deformity may cause many psychological and social traumas to the affected persons. These traumas are proven to be dramatically improved after otoplasty [1]. Surgical correction of the prominent ear was described by many facial plastic surgeons with the aim of decreasing the causing factors such as hypertrophied conchal cartilage, underdeveloped antihelical fold, conchoscaphal angle more than 90°or any combination of the fore-mentioned causes [4][5][6][7].…”

Background Bat ear deformity is a common presentation among the ENT patients (22.5%). Many surgical procedures have been described to manage such a problem. A thorough study of the anatomical anomalies contributing to such deformity is required by any plastic surgeon in handling this anomaly. Results Modified anterior scoring (Chong-Chet) was done on 45 bat ear deformities in 31 patients. Good surgical results were obtained in 97.7% of patients, and the surgical time ranged from 60 t0 90 min. Postoperative pain and infection were minimal and effectively managed. Conclusions The modified Chong-Chet anterior scoring is a reliable and effective surgical tool for managing bat ear deformity done through one postauricular incision. This technique could be used in young as well as adult patients because it renders the auricular cartilage easier to manipulate.
