Prominent Ear is a genetic malformation of the human ear. It occurs due to malformation of cartilage during primitive ear development in intrauterine life. Multiple surgical techniques for the correction of protruding ears have been described which include: incisions, sutures, and cartilage scoring, isolated or in combination. To date, no ideal method that fulfills the aim of a complete surgical resolution has been described in adult patients. The aim of our study is to discuss the main surgical technique' described in order to identify technical association to obtain optimal surgical outcome with minimal surgical morbidity.

Abstract
Prominent Ear is a genetic malformation of the human ear. It occurs due to malformation of cartilage during primitive ear development in intrauterine life. Multiple surgical techniques for the correction of protruding ears have been described which include: incisions, sutures, and cartilage scoring, isolated or in combination. To date, no ideal method that fulfills the aim of a complete surgical resolution has been described in adult patients. The aim of our study is to discuss the main surgical technique' described in order to identify technical association to obtain optimal surgical outcome with minimal surgical morbidity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
