RODRIGUEZ CALZADILLA, Orlando L; GUTIERREZ HERNANDEZ, Ramón; AVILA CASTILLO, Francisco e RODRIGUEZ CARDENAS, Andrés Ernesto. Empleo del adhesivo hístico tisuacryl en el tratamiento quirúrgico de la deformidad auricular. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2003, vol.40, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.
The prominent or akimbo ears require surgical treatment. A study was conducted at the Maxillofacial Surgery Service of "Aleida Fernández Chardiet" General Clinical and Surgical Teaching Hospital so as to modify the techniques described by other authors for the anatomical formation of the antihelix and for substituting the use of anchorage suture by the application of tisuacryl, which allow facial variations satisfying the patient. 36 patients were surgically treated. 9 years old was the predominating age (28 %). 61 % were males, and the most frequent anatomical affection was the increase of the mastoideal looped angle (56 %), followed by the bilateral loss of the antihelix (36 %). Neither relapses in the patients operated on nor complications, such as reaction to a foreign body and perichondritis that may manifest when suture thread is used, were reported. The adhesion of the auricular pavilion in the receptor bed was satisfactory. The bandage time was reduced and the complaints about reduced ear, itching and smell of old blood in the bandages disappeared.
