“…In addition to these two publications, only in series published from Turkey, United Kingdom and our series (Finland) had age average below 10 years [18,23]. The oldest patients were in a series from USA (mean 38 years) [27], and an age average older than 20 years was reported in two publications from Brazil [14,25], one from Spain [7] and one from Turkey [11].…”

ÖZETGiriş: Çalışmada okul çağı popülasyonunda kulak burun ve boğaz muayenesi yaparak sık görülen patolojileri ve bu durumlarla ilişkili faktörleri saptamak amaçlanmaktadır. Yöntem: Kesitsel desendeki çalışma Eylül-Aralık.2013 tarihleri arasında Çanakkale il merkezindeki ilk ve ortaokullarda yapıldı. Öğrencilerin ve ailelerinin hastalık öykülerini ve alışkanlıklarını sorgulayan anket uygulandı. Kulak, burun ve boğaz muayeneleri yapılarak, öğrencilerin muayene formlarına not edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 1938 öğrenci alındı. Öğrencilerin 1369 (%70,6)'u ilkokul, 569 (%29,4)'ü ortaokulda eğitim görmekteydi. Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 8,6 ± 2,3 idi. Çalışmada sırasıyla tonsiller hipertrofi %25,2, kepçe kulak %14,8, otitis media %3,3, anterior nazal deviasyon %10,4 sıklıkta gözlendi. Kepçe kulak erkek öğrencilerde daha fazlaydı (p<0,001). Öğrencilerin cinsiyet ve okul seviyeleri ile kulak, burun ve boğaz patolojisinden en az birinin bulunma durumu arasında anlamlı farklılık yoktu (p>0,05). Sonuç: Okul çocuklarında sırasıyla tonsiller hipertrofi, anterior nazal deviasyon ve otitis media en sık saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin ve ailelerinin tıbbi öykü özellikleri ile ailelerin tıbbi öykü ve alışkanlıkları, kulak, burun ve boğaz patolojisinin varlığı için risk faktörü değildi.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between September-December 2013 at the primary and secondary schools in the city center of Çanakkale. A questionnaire was applied with the students' and parents' disease history and their habits. Ear, nose and throat examination was performed and noted to the examination form. Results: A total of 1938 students were enrolled in the study. 1369 students (70.6%) were in primary schools, 569 (29.4%) were in secondary schools. Mean age of the students was 8.6 ± 2.3 years. The prevalence of tonsillar hypertrophy was 25.2%, prominent ear 14.8%, otitis media 3.3%, anterior nasal deviation 10.4% respectively. Prominent ear were found more frequent in male children than female children (p<0,001). There were no significant differences between children according to gender and the level of classes with having at least one ear-nose-throat pathology (p>0.05). Conclusion: Tonsillar hypertrophy, anterior nasal deviation, and otitis media were the most common pathologies in the school aged children respectively. The students' and the parents' medical histories and the parents' habits were not risk factors for having at least one ear-nose-throat pathology.

“…However, it is generally acknowledged that there are challenges with suture‐based techniques. These include difficulties with accurate placement of sutures and the need for more extensive dissection, which can then lead to problems with hematomas or infection (Table ) . The most common complications are recurrence of prominence or problems with asymmetry, both of which may result in a need for reoperation.…”

“…The limitations of standard otoplasty procedures (suture only or cartilage only) have driven the development of combined techniques using sutures, cartilage sculpting, and/or local fascial flaps to correct the prominent ear. 5,16,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Each additional step employed increases the surgical complexity and the operative time, but also appears to have the desired effect of reducing the risk of problems associated with single-technique approaches. The overall complication rates for combined procedures in previous reports are highly variable, and are likely to have been heavily influenced by surgeon experience.…”

Earfold: A New Technique for Correction of the Shape of the Antihelix

et al. 2018

An absent or poorly defined antihelix often plays a central role in the perception of the prominent ear. A wide variety of otoplasty techniques have been described over the last 50 years that aim to reshape, create, or enhance the definition of the antihelix, which can, in turn, help to reduce the prominence of an ear. In addition to conventional suture and cartilage‐scoring techniques, a permanent implantable clip system (Earfold®) has recently become available that is placed using a minimally invasive approach performed under local anesthesia. In this review, we summarize conventional otoplasty techniques to correct the antihelix and compare these with the Earfold implantable clip system. Laryngoscope, 128:2282–2290, 2018
