Otoplasty without a conformer dressing.
Since 1969, all our constructive, reconstructive, and aesthetic otoplasties have been managed without a conformer dressing. U-sutures, loosely tied over coated cotton rolls up until 1975, when thin and elastic silicone tubes began to be used, maintain the tissues in their new position. Experience and results of 193 ear operations are reported.
