Abstract
Patient satisfaction after surgery to correct the prominent ear relates to the degree of retroposition of the ear. Angular breaks in the cartilage seen with other cartilage-transecting procedures (and even after conchal resections), which are noticed by patients, led to the development of this technique. It is an easy operative technique that may be modified to suit all prominent ears, including the constricted cup ear, and it does not leave any sharp, visible ridges in the region of the anti-helix or concha. The procedure combines and modifies a number of techniques that have been described previously, which allows more flexibility in the treatment of this deformity.
