Abstract:
Background: Earlobes play a vital role in the overall aesthetics of the ear and face. There are several forms of congenital auricular abnormalities. Multiple procedures for repairing the cleft earlobe have been proposed. These procedures aim to restore the ear’s natural look and shape for aesthetic and social purposes.
Objective: The aim of the study is to discuss the technique used in the department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery at Bangladesh Specialized Hospital, Dhaka, for the repair of cleft earlobe.
Methods: A prospective study was carried out on the procedure used to repair cleft ear lobe in our hospital. We present 20 patients with congenital left earlobes.
Result: Gross disparity of the two sides of the cleft was minimised while restoring the anatomical curve of the earlobe. Skin grafts were not used. Visible scar was minimal and almost imperceptible.
Conclusion: This simple technique has the advantage of being easy to perform and at the same time provide good aesthetic results.
