CORRECTION OF THE CONGENITAL EAR LOBE CLEFT

|

Abstract
|
|
|
Ear lobe cleft can be divided into congenital and traumatic type. Congenital type can be classified according to embryology ; Superior, inferior, and mixed type. Traumatic earlobe cleft is usually the result of heavy ear rings having progressively stretched the lobule.
We experienced 3 cases of congenital ear lobe cleft and managed them by modified Joseph method, Passow-Claus method and retroaurycular transposition flap with conchal cartilage graft.
The operative method was selected by amount of skin and soft tissue of the affected lobule. The result was satisfactory without complications.
