“…There are differing opinions on the choice of laser in laser-assisted cartilage remodeling. Holden et al 17 and Leclère et al 18 report that the 1540-nm erbium laser and 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser have a good effect and are more suitable for cartilage remodeling. According to our clinical observations, the energy produced by the laser and the depth of laser penetration are key points throughout the treatment.…”

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the clinical effects of a long-pulse-width 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser-assisted ear correction model and a simple ear correction model in the treatment of congenital auricular deformities in children older than 6 weeks. Methods: A total of 129 children (179 ears) with congenital auricular deformities who were older than 2 months were included. Among them, 84 (119 ears) were treated with the ear correction model after long-pulse-width 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser irradiation (observation group) and 45 (60 ears) were treated with the ear correction model only (control group). The affected ears of the two groups were measured, the correction time was calculated, and the patients’ family members filled in the satisfaction questionnaire before and after the treatment. Results: The level of satisfaction of both groups improved after the treatment. The satisfaction level of the observation group was higher than that of the control group. Fewer days of correction were observed in the observation group than in the control group (p < 0.05). The measurements of the affected ears in the two groups were significantly different after treatment. The difference after treatment of each measurement in the observation group was higher than in the control group. The therapeutic effect of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: Long-pulse-width 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser combined with the ear correction model can improve the success rate of correction of congenital auricular deformities in over-aged ears. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, II.

“…The ideal wavelength for cartilage reshaping is 1540 nm because the penetration depth matches the thickness of cartilage, thereby allowing for homogenous heat generation. 22 A systematic review of seven clinical series 22 utilizing LACR to correct a prominent ear revealed a similar degree of correction when compared with conventional techniques. The authors claim that LACR provides a smoother, more natural curvature than conventional techniques, but without the incisions and subsequent scarring.…”

The Protruding Ear: Cosmetic and Reconstruction

Ear prominence is a relatively common cosmetic deformity with no associated functional deficits, but with profound psychosocial impact, especially in young patients. Protruding ears in children have propagated surgical advances that incorporate reconstructive techniques. Here we outline a systematic framework to evaluate the protruding ear and present various reconstructive surgical options for correction. Both cosmetic and reconstructive perspectives should be entertained when addressing this anatomical deformity.

“…Bu uygulamanın lokal veya genel anestezi altında yapılabileceği, uygulama esnasında soğutucu spreylerin kullanılmasının yanık oluşumunu engellediği ve minimal invaziv bir yöntem olduğu ileri sürülmüştür. 17 CO 2 lazer ile otoplasti ise önce cilt insizyonu yapılması ve sonrasında kartilaja lazer uygulayarak kulak kartilajının şekillendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu teknikte en önemli dezavantaj cilt insizyonunun yapılmasıdır.…”

Özet: Kulak Burun Boğaz (KBB) alanında son 30 yılda lazer kullanımında önemli ilerlemeler olmuştur. Lazerler, günümüzde yaygın olarak kullanılmakta ve KBB alanında birçok durumda primer tedavi veya standart tedavi haline gelmiştir. Otolojide lazer uygulamaları sınırlı olmasına karşın etkin bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Otoloji alanında lazerler timpanotomi ve kulak zarına ventilasyon tüpü uygulamasında, kulak zarındaki adezyonlarda, kemikçik zinciri mobilizasyonu ve remodelinginde, kolesteatoma matriksinin uzaklaştırılmasında, vasküler tümörlerin tedavisinde ve otoskleroz tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Lazer teknolojisinin etkili ve güvenilir profili sayesinde lazerler, otolojide çok amaçlı ve çok yönlü bir enstrüman haline gelmiştir.
