Prominent ear correction: a comprehensive review of fascial flaps in otoplasty.
Abstract
Over the last 100 years, more than 200 different methods have been described to correct prominent ear deformity. These techniques revolved around various combinations of postauricular incision, cartilage scoring, and strategic suture placement to reapproximate the antihelical fold and correct angular deformity. In the last two decades, fascial flap techniques have become prominent in otoplasty. This article gives a comprehensive review of the different surgical techniques employed to construct fascial flaps and their contributions to otoplasty.

Perichondrial dissection weakens the auricular cartilage and makes it liable to cartilage rupture and deformities when inserting Mustardé and Furnas sutures.
“However, as also mentioned by Tas, 35 perichondrial dissection weakens the auricular cartilage and makes it liable to cartilage rupture and deformities when inserting Mustardé and Furnas sutures.”
Healing and neocartilage formation may be enhanced when suturing two such vascular tissues to each other.
“Moreover, healing and neocartilage formation may be enhanced when suturing 2 such vascular tissues to each other. 35”

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.
