Exact hemostasis and wound edge trimming.
Cartilage Sutures (Fig. 6.21, 6.22)
If the reshaped anthelix cartilage is very thin and realigns itself without any tension, no cartilage sutures are required.
A surgeon carrying out an otoplasty procedure should avoid cartilage sutures whenever possible, since every suture in ear cartilage is a potential source of infection. In thicker cartilage, however, cartilage sutures with 4/0 PDS suture s are needed.
The needle should be inserted perpendicular to the cartilage to prevent tearing. When placing the sutures, care should also be taken to achieve an aesthetically and anatomically correct anthelix shape. One or two sutures are made, depending on the degree of tension.
It is usually not necessary to attach the lower edge of the concha to the mastoid. In cases where sufficient realignment cannot be achieved in this region as a result of cartilage thinning, a fixation suture can be made with 4/0 PDS suture material. In this case, the remainder of the concha is sutured to the mastoid periosteum. To prevent stenosis of the external auditory tube, these sutures should not be placed too close to the mouth of the tube. The conchal-mastoid angle should be adjusted to 30° .

Fine corrections can now be made in the region of the tragus and anti­tragus.
This is followed by repeated hemostasis and trimming of wound edges. The operation site should be absolutely dry prior to wound closure to prevent the formation of an othematoma.
The entire auricle has now been realigned without any tension. The desired anthelix curvature has been attained. The conchal-mastoid angle is correct.
If the auricular lobule still displays an aesthetically unacceptable pro­trusion, the ability of the cartilage to realign itself should be assessed. The two options availa ble to the surgeon are to transect the cauda heli­cestransverselyortomakeaYV-plastyaspartofskinclosureonthe dorsal side of the ear lobe. This has the advantage of shortening the lobuleatthesametime.

Wound Closure (Fig. 6.23, 6.24)
The surgical wound is generally closed in two layers subcutaneously with 4/0 PDS. Above this the skin is closed, without any tension what­soever, with 5/0 Prolene interrupted sutures. Alternativel y, the skin can be closed intracutaneously with continuous 5/0 PDS or Monocryl™ sutures. The advantage of this procedure, which is especially useful in pediatric patients, is that the sutures do not have to be pulled tight.
There is no difference in the aesthetic results attained with the two techniques, provided that the sutures have been made totally without any tension.
If the conchal-mastoid angle has been improperly aligned during dis­section, this cannot be corrected later either by the cutaneous sutures or by a corrective dressing.
Identical Approach on the Contralateral Side
Care should be taken to mark the incision lines behind the ear bilater ­ally shortly before the operation to make sure that the resected skin areas are of equal size. Moreover, the parts of the concha which are to be resected should be equal on both sides to ensure that the ears will be symmetrical in shape and size after the operation.

However, the ears are usually asymmetrical before the operation, and this fact should be taken into accoun t during the surgical planning.
The head does not have to be shaved.

Dressing
The dressing plays an important role in achieving fine modeling of the ear and ensuring recovery without complications. For this reason, a gauze strip impregnated with antibiotic ointment is packed exactly into the reshaped anatomical structures of the ear. No pressure of any kind may be exerted on the ear here; the soaked pad must be pressed uni­formly . The external ear canal should be protected by a small ear plug.
In addition, the retroauricular incision area must be modeled to create an abutment which will support the contours on the ventral side of the auricle. The ear is then very gently squeezed with a moist compr ess and modeled again.
A notched ear compress is then put in place as cushioning and a second compressisplacedlightlyontopofit.Thisdressingisheldinplace with adhesive film to prevent it from slipping when the patient turns his or her head.
Finally , a zinc oxide head dressing is applied. This dressing does not exert any corrective effect but serves merely as protection against infec­tion,blows,pulls,andtears.
Postoperative Treatment and Precautions
The head dressing is left in place for 8 days. During this time the patient takes antibiotics orally as protection against possible infection.
The procedure is generally carried out under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. As a result, the patient can be sent home after an observation period of only a few hours.
If the patient experiences pain or throbbing in his or her ear, the physi­cian should be notified immediately.
After 8 days, the head dressing is taken off and the sutures are removed. After the sutures are removed, the patient should still wear a head band at night for 4 weeks and avoid possible trauma to the ear during the day .
The patient should shampoo his or her hair very carefully, taking care not to bend the ear or otherwise tamper with the wound.
The patient should be careful about sports for about 3 months after the operation.
Complete healing takes about 6 months.

Tips and Tricks
https://t.me/med1917
– Attachment of the ear to the mastoid bone will be achieved by
removalintotooftheconchalcartilage.
– As a result, the conchal pole can be rotated in a dorsal direction
free of tension; occasionally, resection of the posterior auricular muscle is necessary.
– The skin on the dorsal side of the auricle should be completely
undermined, i.e., all of the tissue bridges are to be divided, so that tension-free attachmen t of the ear is possible.
– The new formation of the anthelix is made significantly easier by
scarification of the anterior surface of the cartilage. It is important here to continue the incision across the cartilage edge.
– In order to achieve tension-free adaption, optimal curvature of
the anthelix, and a correct concha-mastoid angle, additional carti­lage sutures may be necessary with thick cartilage. However, each cartilage suture carries a certain risk of infection; therefore, we advise that these sutures are not used with thin, tension-free car­tilage.
– Overcorrection, i.e., reduction of the angle between the auricle
and the skull to less than 15° , should be avoided under all circum­stances.
– The ideal angle is between 20° and 30°. Therefore, it is important
that the upper pole of the ear is well attached and that no unaes­thetic ‘telephone ear’ develops.
