Abstract
A technically simple technique of otoplasty has been developed. An ovular skin excision is made on the posterior side of the auricle and then a transcartilaginous incision that corresponds to the future dorsal part of the antihelical fold. A parallel anterior incision of the anterior aspect of the cartilage helps to create a normal and harmonious configuration by smoothing the inward bending. Thirty-six patients were operated on and followed up for between six months and two years. The surgical results are satisfactory and there have been only two recurrences.
