[Results of otoplasty (author's transl)].
77 patients with uni- or bilateral otoplasty have been reviewed between 6 months and 5 years postoperatively. Surgery had been performed using a modified Converse technique. A comparison was made between the objective results and the patient's satisfaction. Using our own classification, we listed 64.9% as good results and 3.9% as failures, suggesting a reoperation. 31.2% of the cases demonstrated only some improvement. Evaluating our results listed as "good", the average distance helix: planum mastoideum, measured between the upper and middle third of the ear, was 18.8 mm and between the middle and lower third 18.0 mm.
