  • Title: Correction of cryptotia using a subcutaneous pedicled flap.
    Author: Nakajima T, Yoneda K, Yoshimura Y.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1991; 44(6):406-9. PubMed ID: 1933109.
    Abstract:
    Cryptotia is a relatively common deformity of the ear among orientals. Although many methods for correcting this deformity have been reported, there is no one perfect method. We have developed a method using a subcutaneous pedicle flap raised from the retroauricular region, where relative abundance of skin exists. We have treated 9 ears of 7 patients by the method reported herein. Results are satisfactory in all cases.
