    Author: Schonauer F, La Rusca I, Molea G.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 2004 Dec; 57(8):794-6. PubMed ID: 15544781.
    Abstract:
    Congenital cleft earlobe is a rare auricular malformation. Various techniques have been reported for the correction of this deformity. Few papers deal with surgical techniques to correct the triple lobe sub-type cleft. This anomaly presents more technical difficulties in the three-dimensional rearrangement than other sub-types. We describe the technique used to correct a triple lobe deformity in a 5-year-old boy. The postoperative result was satisfactory at one year follow-up.
