ABSTRACT

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.

ÖZET

Amaç:

Aurikuler lobüloplasti yapılan olguların cerrahi sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi.

Yöntemler:

Aurikuler lobüloplasti yapılan 13 olgu (10 kadın, üç erkek; ort. yaş 32.3±8.48 yıl, yaş aralığı 21- 44 yıl) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm olguların demografik özellikleri, cerrahi nedeni, komplikasyon varlığı ve hasta memnuniyeti değerlendirildi.

Bulgular:

Tüm olguların takip süreleri en kısa altı ay ve en uzun 34 ay (ortalama 16.5±9.6 ay) idi. Operasyonlar 10 olguda (%76.9) lokal anestezi, üç olguda (%23.1) ise genel anestezi altında gerçekleştirildi. Sekiz olguya (%61.5) kısmi lobül yarığı, dört olguya (%30.7) elonge lobül ve bir olguya (%7.8) konjenital lobül yarığı nedeniyle lobüloplasti uygulandı. Postoperatif komplikasyona rastlanmaz iken, hiçbir olguya revizyon cerrahi gerekmedi.

Sonuç:

Aurikula lobül deformiteleri için çok sayıda cerrahi teknik bulunmaktadır. Aurikuler lobüloplasti, uygulaması kolay, güvenli ve etkin bir cerrahi uygulamadır.
