title: A New Paradigm for Surgical Management of Congenital Triple Lobe Type Cleft.
abstract: Congenital earlobe clefts (CELC) may be annoying for the plastic surgeons. Many classifications and techniques were described for CELC. The previously described techniques are useful in some conditions, but not proper in all. We present a simple, effective method for a rare CELC 'triple lobe' in this article.
