“…5 La microtia se clasifica según el área anatómica afectada y una de ellas es la oreja constreñida, que afecta el tercio superior y corresponde a la clasificación IV-A de Tanzer. 6,7 En 1975, Tanzer La oreja constreñida es un grupo de anomalías auriculares del tercio superior de la oreja, en donde parece que su borde ha sido apretado como un cordón. 7,8 Posee cuatro características: forma de tapa, disminución de la altura vertical, protrusión y posición baja de la oreja.…”

“…15 En la oreja constreñida, la principal anormalidad es la deficiencia del borde del hélix en la circunferencia de la escafa, misma que se encuentra impactada. 16 La inadecuada altura del hélix constreñido provoca que las fuerzas hagan que la oreja tome una forma de taza que sobresale de la cabeza, lo que resulta en una oreja ligeramente pequeña, por lo que cualquier intento de otoplastia se debe acompañar de un aumento de la altura del hélix. 17 La reconstrucción auricular moderna se atribuye a Tanzer, por los principios detallados, la técnica y la evaluación crucial de la reconstrucción auricular total usó cartílago costal autólogo.…”

“…These latter defects are characterized by a short helical length and upper antihelical and Correction of microtia with constriction features using a superficial temporal fascial flap combined with a rib cartilage graft scaphal deficiencies and require supplemental skin for correction. Although various surgical correction methods have been reported as ways to resolve these deformities [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], no consensus has been reached regarding the most appropriate method. As the severity of a constricted ear deformity and the shape of the intact ear vary among individuals, diverse approaches to reconstruction that consider both the ear position and shape are needed to achieve symmetry.…”

Background Microtia with constricted features is characterized by a short helical length of variable severity, upper antihelical or scaphal deficiency, and a downfolded upper ear. No consensus has been reached regarding the most appropriate surgical method for this condition. In this study, we aimed to introduce a simple and safe surgical method for the correction or reconstruction of upper helix ear deformities.Methods Between February 2011 and June 2014, eight patients with microtia with constricted upper helix ear deformity underwent reconstruction of the ear deformity. The upper ear helical framework was constructed by carving and curving the eighth rib cartilage harvested from the ipsilateral chest wall, covering this cartilage with a superficial temporal fascial flap, and adjusting the skin graft to align with the ear contour. To evaluate their satisfaction, patients were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding ear shape, symmetry, position, color, and overall outcome scored on a 5-point scale at 12 months postoperatively.Results None of the patients experienced severe complications in the reconstructed ear. The preoperative and postoperative vertical ear length ratios were 0.88 and 1.02, respectively. And the mean patient satisfaction scores for shape, symmetry, position, color, and overall outcome were 4.2, 4.5, 4.7, 4.4, and 4.6 out of 5 points, respectively. All patients expressed a high level of satisfaction at 12 months postoperatively.Conclusions Our technique provides a good alternative method for the reconstruction of moderate constricted upper helix ear deformities in patients who meet the surgical indications with satisfactory outcomes and few complications.

“…The treatments of CADs includes surgical and non-surgical treatments. The former is mainly performed at the age of 6, and its effect is closely related to the type, severity and operation mode of the deformities [12][13][14]. In addition, surgery, as an invasive method, can bring complications such as suture extrusion, hematoma, wound depravation and skin necrosis, and at the same time, it is expensive and imposes a greater economic burden on families and society [15][16].…”

Background: Congenital auricle deformities (CADs) not only affect the appearance, but may also result in social inferiority or difficulties, influence the hearing and mental health of the children. Although some studies have pointed out CADs have a natural improvement trend, there is still a lack of high-quality research to demonstrate the degree of that. Therefore, related studies agree that early treatment are necessary. Ear mold correction is currently main non-surgical treatment for CADs, but the existing research often involves a small sample size, and the research conclusions are inconsistent. More importantly, there is still no systematic review on ear mold correction for CADs. This study aims to systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ear mold correction for CADs, so as to provide an evidence base for further research.Methods: The study has been designed according to the Preferred Reporting program for Systems Evaluation and Meta-analysis Protocol (PRISMA-P). We will search electronic literature databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of science, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP from their initiative to 1 June 2020 for interventional studies on ear mould for children with CADs. The study selection, data extraction and quality assessment will be performed by two authors. Meta-analysis will be conducted on primary outcome effectiveness rate of physician assessment and secondary outcomes of effectiveness rate of parents’ assessment, effectiveness score, hearing assessment, and adverse reactions using relative ratio or mean difference and their 95% confidence intervals. The heterogeneity of the included studies will be tested using Chi square test and I2, and random-effects model will be used when significant heterogeneity was found, otherwise, fixed-effects model will be used. Sensitivity analysis will be performed using trials with high quality and using alternative [1]models (fixed-effects or random effects model). Publication bias will be tested using funnel plot and Egger’s test. Discussion: This study will be the first to systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ear mold correction for CADs, to provide evidence base for clinical guideline making, clinical decision and future research. Systematic review registration : CRD42020190982.
