Surgical correction of Stahl's ear using the cartilage turnover and rotation method.
Various operative methods for the correction of Stahl's ear exist. We, however, have devised an alternative "turnover and rotation" procedure. In this procedure, the deformed cartilage itself is used in its original contour to form a new scaphoid fossa, thus simplifying the corrective procedure and establishing a reliable operative method in which reversion to the original state is thought to be highly unlikely.
