ABSTRACT

We present the postoperative results of patients with a diagnosis of constricted ear undergoing atrial reconstruction, according to the Tanzer classification for constricted ear, at the PEMEX Central South High Specialty Hospital, from March 2016 to March 2017. It includes patients who had ear reconstruction by diagnosis of a constricted ear, performed by the same surgeon in a single surgical time, using or not using costal cartilage. We evaluated the results by subjective analysis of the anatomy of the upper third by means of the Likert scale at one week, one month, three, six and 12 months. In a year, a total of six ears were operated on five patients, with an average age of 12.8 years: three men and two women; 50% with constricted ear Tanzer IIB. In 80% of those cases, we used costal cartilage without complications. Two patients required a second intervention to perform otoplasty and symmetrize the contralateral ear. All were followed up for 12 months, observing an excellent result in three patients and good in two. We conclude that the constricted ear is an underdiagnosed congenital abnormality in our country that merits an individualized evaluation to determine the reconstructive treatment that provides satisfactory long-term results, without requiring a second surgery.
