Simultaneous otoplasty and temporomandibular arthroplasty.
By altering the standard postauricular incision for access to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), a standard otoplasty can be performed simultaneously with TMJ arthroplasty. The procedure is described and results are presented. In six patients with at least a 2-year follow-up, the esthetic results have been stable. There has been no morbidity as a result of such simultaneous surgery.
