“…There are many procedures describing the incision of the anterior side of the antihelix to make it weaker and to fix the antihelix in the desired position with additional postauricular fixation, which certainly contributes to a positive long-term result [9] . Some earlier bending methods without incision, such as the Mustardé-type cartilage bending, led to poorer results in the long run, because the cartilage would spring back to its initial position after some time.…”

Background: In the last few decades, many techniques have been developed to correct prominent ear deformities. Modified Chong-Chet otoplasty represents a new and improved classical Chong-Chet procedure for prominent ear surgery. This study evaluates and compares the long-term results of standard Chong-Chet otoplasty with the modified technique. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients undergoing otoplasty at the Special Hospital S-tetik Banja Luka between January 17, 2017, and February 5, 2019. The total number of patients undergoing the procedure was 129. The first group (48 patients) underwent otoplasty using the Chong-Chet technique, while the second group (81 patients) underwent a modified Chong-Chet procedure. All patients were randomly selected on the condition that the antihelix was absent. The data were processed and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 24 using nonparametric tests (χ 2 test, Mann–Whitney U test and Kruskal–Wallis test). Results: Every second patient was satisfied (19 patients were partially satisfied and five patients were completely satisfied) with the results of the classical Chong-Chet technique. Seven patients were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, while 17 patients were dissatisfied (11 patients were completely dissatisfied and 6 patients were mostly dissatisfied). As for the modified method, on average, nine out of 10 patients (73 or 90.1%) were satisfied, of which 49 patients (60.5%) were completely satisfied and 24 patients (29.6%) were mostly satisfied. The statistical significance was P < .05. Research results point to the modified Chong-Chet technique being a significant improvement to the classical method. Conclusion: Modified Chong-Chet technique increases the number of positive long-term results and significantly improves the standard method.

“… 7 All these techniques may be divided in two groups: with or without concha cartilage removal. 8 Resection of concha aims to eliminate the cartilage memory and reduces the tension between the sutures and consequently recidive. However, it can lead to lose of ear natural contour.…”

“…The overall complication rate in the pilot study was 20.5% (using 131 implants to treat 37 patients), which is comparable with the overall complication rate for conventional suture-based otoplasty techniques. 2 – 7 Further analysis of the outcomes led us to make changes to our technique for insertion of the implant and to the design of the Earfold introducer. To investigate the possibility that these changes might result in an improvement in the overall complication rate once the implant was put into routine use, we have performed an interim safety analysis describing the adverse events and complication rates in a series of 403 consecutive patients with prominent ears treated by 6 surgeons in the United Kingdom and 1 surgeon in Croatia.…”
