Through the analysis of 300 cases of prominent ears operated by Pitanguy's technique with a follow-up of 1-15 years we observed the preservation of the aesthetic aspect as well as the cephaloauricular angle. We call attention to its easy performance and almost no incidence of early or late complications.
We report on the histologic and anatomopathologic aspects of cutaneous hemangiomas, stressing the involutive and noninvolutive aspects of these malformations. We analyze its clinical evolution, approaching the propedeutic and therapeutic methods, and present a detailed commentary on the conservative methodology of a series of 473 consecutive patients, encompassing a follow-up of 1 to 18 years.
