متن کاملCorrection of Congenital Auricular Deformities Using the Ear-Molding Technique
BACKGROUND Studies of the ear-molding technique have emphasized the importance of initiating molding early to achieve the best results. In the present study, we describe the immediate effects and long-term outcomes of this technique, focusing on children who were older than the ideal age of treatment initiation. METHODS Patients who visited our institution from July 2014 to November 2015 were...
متن کاملNon-surgical Management of Congenital Auricular Deformities
BACKGROUND Unlike congenital auricular malformations which are identified by underdevelopment of dermal and cartilaginous tissues, deformed ears are less sever congenital anomalies characterized only by a misshaped pinna structure and can be improved with acceptable cosmetic results and minimal cost through ear molding if treated in early neonatal period. In this study, authors present the f...
