title: The use of tissue glue in prominent ear correction surgery.
abstract: Cyanoacrylate tissue glues have been used for many years in otoplasty and specific indications for its use are as described. As well as being an effective means of dressing the postauricular suture line, its use in gluing the pinna back to the postauricular skin may negate the use of the head bandage in the postoperative period.
