Abstract

Prominauris is one of the most common congenital deformities in the head and neck area and is the principal alteration of the pinna, with a global prevalence of appro[1]ximately 5%. The leading causes of this anomaly are the abnormal formation of the antihelix or a prominent concha. The surgical techniques in otoplasty can be divided into cartilage-sculpting and cartilage-sparing. Actually, there are multiple surgical techniques described in the literature. The objective of this article is to present a description of a hybrid approach to otoplasty.
