INTRODUCTION: Most ear lobules with congenital pixie earlobe deformities are small because of their hypoplastic nature. This small earlobe makes it more looks like a pixie deformity. Ultimately, sufficient 2-dimensional expansion of hypoplastic earlobe camouflage pixie ear. Numerous surgical techniques have been introduced to correct pixie earlobe deformities.1–3 However, several of these techn...

 Abstract Background: The retroauricular-temporal or Washio flap has been introduced for reconstruction of partial nose and cheek defects, and has many advantages. We decided to evaluate the extended use of this technique in order to repair full thickness nasal defects. Methods: Superficial temporal and retroauricular arteries are identified with Doppler flowmetry. Selection points A, B, C and ...

Objective: Prominent ear is one of the most frequent congenital deformities of the ear. The major causes are often due to an underdeveloped antihelical fold, conchal hypertrophy, and a prominent ear lobule. More than 200 different techniques have been described so far. This report presents the effectiveness of a combined technique (Mustardé suture, Furnas suture, and conchal excision), which is...

The dorsal nasal cyst formation is a rare and late complication of rhinoplasty. It has been rarely reported in the literature and it is usually mucous cysts. Migration and planting to the subcutaneous space during the surgical procedure has been recognized as the formation mechanism. This case report has presented 42-year-old male patient with a destructing dorsal nasal mucous cyst that develop...

INTRODUCTION Superior semicircular canal dehiscence represents a manageable cause of sound and pressure induced vertigo. This case highlights its presentation and investigation, including a review of the literature, and the authors' surgical technique used in its successful treatment. CASE PRESENTATION A 45-year-old Caucasian man presented with vertigo induced by sound or pressure. Subsequent...

Background Proper nasal tip projection and rotation are essential for an aesthetically pleasing nose. However, East Asians usually have thicker skin underdeveloped cartilage compared to Caucasians. Thus, techniques such as the septal extension graft, columellar strut L-shaped alloplastic implants been introduced additional support projection. no consensus exists regarding optimal method.Methods...

BACKGROUND The composite graft from the conchal cartilage is a graft that is often used, especially in surgery on the nose, due to its capacity to resolve problems of cover and tissue deficit, arising from the removal of neoplasms or as the result of trauma, burns or following over-aggressive rhinoplasty. We have started to use skin-perichondrium-cartilage graft from the ear to cover large area...

INTRODUCTION The closure of complex tracheocutaneous fistulae is a surgical challenge. We describe a staged approach for management of a patient with a large tracheocutaneous fistula in the setting of prior surgery and local radiation therapy. CASE PRESENTATION A 66-year-old Caucasian man who had undergone prior surgery and radiation therapy to the lower neck presented to our hospital for tre...
