Cup-shaped ear is a common congenital auricle deformity. There are many specific surgical methods, such as V-Y method, Barsky method, Musgrave method, etc., but there is no unified treatment method. The authors used the outer helix reconstruction method for cup-shaped ear and achieved remarkable therapeutic effects.The authors performed the outer helix reconstruction on 30 patients with cup-shaped ear. The authors followed up the patients after the stage II operation. The authors used the SPSAU data science analysis platform (https://spssau.com/) for statistical analysis of the data.The mean follow-up time was 14.43±4.5 months. The mean preoperative perimeter of auricle was 8.19±0.56 cm. The mean postoperative perimeter of auricle was 10.82±0.49 cm. The mean perimeter of the healthy auricle was 10.89±0.44 cm. Through data analysis, the authors found that the comparison between preoperative and postoperative auricle perimeters was statistically significant (P0.05). The comparison between postoperative auricle perimeter and the perimeter of the healthy auricle was not statistically significant (P0.05). In terms of postoperative satisfaction of patients and their families, the satisfaction rate was 100%. In terms of postoperative complications, there were 1 case of incision dehiscence, 0 cases of incision infection, 2 cases of incision hematoma, and 0 cases of postoperative skin flap ischemia and necrosis.The outer helix reconstruction method is suitable for most cup-shaped ears, and the operation is simple and the effect is remarkable. It is worthy of promotion and application in plastic surgery clinical.
