    Author: Ono I, Gunji H, Tateshita T.
    Journal: Br J Plast Surg; 1996 Dec; 49(8):564-7. PubMed ID: 8976750.
    Abstract:
    We devised an operation to correct Stahl's ear, a rare but difficult to treat auricular malformation. First, a wedge excision is made of the anterior skin and cartilage of the abnormal, third crus prominence. The abnormal, flat part of the helix is excised. A conchal cartilage graft is used to support the area after closure of the defect, including advancement of the helical edges. The procedure has been used in five cases with satisfactory results.
