MODERN VIEWS ON BIRTH DEVELOPMENT MALFORMATIONS OF THE EAR

Abstract

Various local deformations, such as “satyr’s ear” - thickening and unnatural elevation of the horizontal part of the helix, “macaque ear” - thickening and deformation of the descending part of the helix, Darwinian tubercle - significant thickening of the edge of the helix at the very beginning of its descending part, and also the additional leg of the antihelix , if necessary, is eliminated by wedge-shaped resection of the protruding parts . Plastic surgery of total lobe defects is based on the use of soft tissue surrounding the auricle. The disadvantage of all methods is the multi-stage nature, scars on the neck and parotid area, and most importantly, the inevitable reduction and deformation of the new lobe.
