Keywords: Otoplasty, Resection of the shell, Neo antihelixplasty. Purpose The surgical correction of protruding ears is intended to correct the partial deletion or total agenesis of the anti helix, the widening of the shell when it’s present to an abnormal degree, and skull ear angle that is increased in between 45 and 60 degrees (less is desirable). Operative Approach First, we deliniate, in the mastoid ear notch a zone to be resected in the desired shape, from the upper pole to near the lobe (Figure 2). Resection of the shell can go from the antihelix to the...
