| description | Objective:To evaluate surgical outcomes of auricular lobuloplasy.Methods:In total, 13 patients (10 females and 3 males; average age, 32.3±8.48 years; range 21-44 years) who underwent auricular lobuloplasty were included in this study. Demographic characteristics, cause of surgery, presence of complications, and patient satisfaction were evaluated.Results: The mean follow-up was 16.5±9.6 months with the shortest and the longest follow-up being 6 and 34 months, respectively. Surgeries were performed under local anesthesia in 10 cases (76.9%) and under general anesthesia in three cases (23.1%). Lobuloplasty were performed in eight cases (61.5%) with a diagnosis of partial lobule cleft, four cases (30.7%) with a diagnosis of elongated lobule, and one case (7.8%) with a diagnosis of congenital earlobe cleft. There were no postoperative complications and revision surgery was not necessary for any of the patients.Conclusion:Multiple surgical techniques exist for repairing earlobe deformities. Auricular lobuloplasty is a surgical procedure that has several advantages including safety, ease of use, and effectiveness. |
