Abstract

Otoplasty is a routinely performed procedure in virtually all plastic surgery units. However, there are few comprehensive reports in the literature on the incidence of complications. In a review of 562 consecutive patients we found significant morbidity. Residual deformity, haemorrhage, infection, keloid/hypertrophic scarring and anterior skin necrosis were recorded and incidence determined. Cases requiring revision i.e., those with residual deformity were analysed further. The fault at the primary procedure was mostly that of design (73.4%), although many other residual problems were due to poor execution of technique (26.6%). Steps are described to minimise the need for such revision.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
