This study is meant to compare between anterior and posterior scoring techniques for the correction of prominent ear primarily in terms of cosmesis and patients' satisfaction. We included 50 patients who were randomly assigned to anterior scoring (AS; 25 subjects with a total of 45 ears) or posterior score (PS; 25 subjects with a total of 47 ears). All patients were subjected to full history taking, general & local examinations and laboratory investigations. We analyzed the age, sex, surgical technique, the need for a second operation, type of anesthetics, additional procedures, follow-up, complications, and results. Both groups were comparable as regard patient characteristics, laterality of prominent ear, intra-operative and follow up measurements and complications. However, posterior scoring results in a high satisfaction rate with low morbidity. It was shown to be safe (low complication rate), simple and reliable intervention. Thus, we advocate posterior scoring during correction of prominent ears deformity.

“…1 The anomaly derives from a combination of elementary defects of the antihelix and the concha, which may include an underdeveloped or absent antihelix, conchal hyperplasia or an excessively deep concha, an increased conchoscaphal angle (990 degrees), and increased cephaloauricular distances (superior, medial, and inferior). We propose a combination technique including those that bend, suture, excise, score, and reposition the auricular cartilage.…”

“…There is no apparent sex predilection for prominent ears. Since Luckett's original description in 1910, the anatomical features associated with prominent ears include absence of an adequate antihelical fold, presence of a large deep conchal bowl, inadequate definition of helical rim and abnormalities of the lobule.Although prominent ears is a benign condition, it can cause considerable psychological trauma to children [2][3][4] and to avoid this, the majority of patients are operated on around the age of 3-6 years before starting school. However, because of the importance of the cosmetic appearance and the patient cooperation during surgery, most surgeons prefer to operate at the age of 5 years.…”

Prominent ears are the most common congenital deformity in the head and neck region, 1 with an incidence of 5% in the white population. There is no apparent sex predilection for prominent ears. Since Luckett's original description in 1910, the anatomical features associated with prominent ears include absence of an adequate antihelical fold, presence of a large deep conchal bowl, inadequate definition of helical rim and abnormalities of the lobule.Although prominent ears is a benign condition, it can cause considerable psychological trauma to children [2][3][4] and to avoid this, the majority of patients are operated on around the age of 3-6 years before starting school. However, because of the importance of the cosmetic appearance and the patient cooperation during surgery, most surgeons prefer to operate at the age of 5 years. 5,6 The goals of surgical correction of prominent ears include natural antihelical and scaphal folding, conchal reduction, conchal setback and lobule setback.Over 200 techniques have been described for the surgical correction of prominent ears. 5 This means that there is no ideal technique
