Overview

Case report demonstrates effective correction of Type I cryptotia with improved surgical outcomes, indicating a promising technique.

Key Points

  • This report aims to demonstrate an effective technique for correcting Type I cryptotia by addressing both skin and cartilage deformities.
  • Combined a large Z-plasty for skin release and a conchal cartilage strut graft to widen the cephaloauricular angle
  • Performed intentional overcorrection to maintain stable ear projection
  • Conducted a follow-up for one month to assess outcomes
  • Achieved a postoperative cephaloauricular angle of approximately 30 degrees, similar to the normal ear
  • Provided adequate skin coverage and restored the auriculotemporal sulcus
  • No complications or recurrence were observed during follow-up
