Résumé
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of helix and antihelix skin degloving technique in correction surgery of prominent ears.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-three cases of prominent ears were corrected by helix and antihelix skin degloving technique. The clinical results were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the prominent ears were corrected with natural appearance and good symmetry results. The distance from the helix to the skull was decreased obviously (P<0.05). Cranial ear angle, the angle of helix and ear boat were significantly reduced (P<0.05). No complications such as infection, hematoma, skin flap necrosis and deformity recurrence occurred.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The auricle skin degloving technique has advantages of exact suture position, good shape, no obvious cartilage hurt and simple operation procedure.</p>
