    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic efficacy of a modified method with splints in correction of cryptotia. METHODS: From Oct. 2012 to Jan. 2014, 3 cases with unilateral cryptotia were treated with the modified method with splints. The muscles attached to the periosteum of cartilage were dissected. The muscles between the ear and temper were cut off. Then one silicon tube was put around the ear through cranioauricular sulcus. The other tube was placed within the cavum conchae and fixed with the tube around the ear. RESULTS: No flap necrosis happened. The patients were followed up for six months to one year with satisfied and stable results. CONCLUSIONS: The modified method is easy to perform with less morbidity. It is one of the ideal correction for cryptotia.
