  • Title: [Late results of corrective surgery of protruding external ears].
    Author: Härtel J, Bonitz R.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1990; 115(3):161-4. PubMed ID: 2330770.
    Abstract:
    In the period 1974-1984 corrections of the external ear were carried out on 343 patients using the Haecker/Joseph method for flattening and the Converse method for anthelixplasty. Check-ups on 147 patients revealed late results to be "improved to very good" in 92.5% of cases on the basis of metrical data and aesthetic appraisal of the corrected external ear. Provided that there is a firm indication and exact pre-operative diagnosis combined with good surgical technique and post-operative care, these two methods represent well-tried procedures with a high success rate.
