Converse Technique
The Converse technique, together with the Mustardé technique and Stenström technique, belongs to the standard methods of traditional otoplasty Otoplasty ( el, οὖς, , "ear" + , , "to shape") denotes the surgical and non-surgical procedures for correcting the deformities and defects of the pinna (external ear), and for reconstructing a defective, or deformed, or absent external ear, co .... Numerous variations for pinning ears have been derived from them. History Converse described his method in 1955J. M. CONVERSE, A. NIGRO, F. A. WILSON, N.

Mustardé Technique
The Mustardé technique is an otoplastic surgery (otoplasty) for pinning protruding ears. The method belongs together with the Stenström and Converse methods to the traditional otoplasties. It is antihelix plastic surgery performed with the suturing technique. History The technique of this surgery was first described by Mustardé in 1960. Further publications by him appeared in 1963 and 1967. Surgical procedure The Mustardé technique involves making a long incision on the back of the ear and removing a strip of skin. The skin is dissected from the cartilage between he edge of the ear (''helix'') and the place where the ear is attached to the head ('' sulcus posterior''), thus exposing the cartilage on the back of the ear. It is therefore assigned to the open ear pinning methods. The antihelix fold is bent more strongly or formed anew with mattress sutures that are anchored in the cartilage. The cartilage is left completely intact, that is, it is not scored, cut or excised as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stenström Technique
The Stenström technique or method is otoplastic surgery (otoplasty) for pinning protruding ears. The method belongs together with the Mustardé technique and the Converse technique to the traditional or conventional otoplasties. History The technique of this surgery was described by Stenström in 1963 and was slightly altered by him in 1973. Surgical method This is a plastic surgery of the antihelix that is carried out with the scratch or scoring technique. Underlying this method is the evidence that the cartilage bends itself convexly to the opposite side after scratching or scoring. A long incision is made on the back of the ear and a strip of skin is removed. Through an incision in the cartilage in the cauda helicis (lower end of the ear cartilage) or in the scapha the skin, together with the perichondrium is raised on the anterior surface of the antihelix. A rasp is inserted in the resulting skin-perichondrium tunnel to blindly score or scratch the cartilage of the ant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Otoplasty
Otoplasty ( el, οὖς, , "ear" + , , "to shape") denotes the surgical and non-surgical procedures for correcting the deformities and defects of the pinna (external ear), and for reconstructing a defective, or deformed, or absent external ear, consequent to congenital conditions (e.g. microtia, anotia, etc.) and trauma (blunt, penetrating, or blast). The otoplastic surgeon corrects the defect or deformity by creating an external ear that is of natural proportions, contour, and appearance, usually achieved by the reshaping, the moving, and the augmenting of the cartilaginous support framework of the pinna. Moreover, the occurrence of congenital ear deformities occasionally overlaps with other medical conditions (e.g. Treacher Collins syndrome and hemifacial microsomia). History Antiquity Otoplasty (surgery of the ear) was developed in ancient India in the 5th century BC, and described in the medical compendium, the (Sushruta's Compendium, ).
