ABSTRACT

Criptotia é uma deformidade auricular congênita comum em orientais e rara em ocidentais, sendo a grande maioria dos estudos de técnicas cirúrgicas orientais e aplicados em crianças. Nesta patologia, a cartilagem do polo superior da orelha encontra-se alojada embaixo da pele na região temporal, o que impossibilita o uso de óculos, devido à falta de apoio e torna o polo superior sem definição estética. O presente estudo tem por objetivo relatar o caso de um paciente adulto com criptotia, submetido ao tratamento cirúrgico com retalho de pedículo subcutâneo mastóideo, revisando as principais técnicas descritas para o tratamento deste acometimento. O retalho de pedículo subcutâneo descrito por Yoshimura, mostrou-se adequado para a correção da criptotia em paciente ocidental e adulto.


Cryptotia is a congenital ear deformity common in Easterners and rare in Westerners, with most studies addressing Eastern surgical techniques applied to children. In this pathology, the cartilage of the upper pole of the ear is lodged subcutaneously in the temporal region, which prevents individuals from using glasses due to lack of support and prevents esthetic definition of the upper pole. The present study aimed to report the case of an adult patient with cryptotia undergoing surgical treatment using a mastoid subcutaneous pedicle flap and review the main techniques described for the treatment of this involvement. The subcutaneous pedicle flap described by Yoshimura proved to be adequate for correcting cryptotia in a Western adult patient.

ABSTRACT

Defeitos parciais de orelha podem ser tratados de diversas formas, dentre elas o fechamento primário, cicatrização por segunda intenção ou retalhos. Diversas opções técnicas foram descritas para a sua reconstrução de modo a manter o contorno natural da orelha, sem sacrificar tecido sadio ou alterar sua estética e função. Apresentamos neste artigo dois casos atendidos no Instituto do Câncer do Hospital de Base de São José do Rio Preto de reconstrução de defeitos condrocutâneos de orelha após ressecção de carcinoma basocelular em região central da orelha, com a confecção de retalho retroauricular ilhado transposto através de uma janela cartilaginosa e com o pedículo desepidermizado. Área doadora com fechamento primário. Tal procedimento constitui técnica segura, pois a região retroauricular é ricamente vascularizada, é de fácil execução, em único estágio e com resultado estético e funcional satisfatório.


Partial ear defects can be treated in several ways, including primary closure, healing by secondary intention, or flaps. Several surgical options have been described for reconstruction in order to maintain the natural contour of the ear, without sacrificing healthy tissues or changing the aesthetics and function. In this article, we present two cases of reconstruction of chondrocutaneous defects of the ear after resection of basal cell carcinoma in the central region of the ear, with the production of a retroauricular island flap transposed through a cartilaginous window with the de-epidermized pedicle. The donor area healed following a primary closure. This procedure can be performed in a single stage, yields satisfactory aesthetic and functional results, and is safe because the retroauricular region is richly vascularized.

ABSTRACT

Resumo A Síndrome de Treacher Collins (STC) é uma síndrome craniofacial de padrão autossômico dominante e expressão clínica variada, em que a orelha pode ou não estar ausente ou malformada. Indivíduos com STC sofrem estigmas podendo repercutir na interação com pares. Instrumentos de qualidade de vida obtidos por meio de questionários de autopercepção são ferramentas de identificação de estigmas e podem permitir o ajuste social desses indivíduos. Objetiva-se avaliar e mensurar a qualidade de vida em indivíduos com STC, aferindo os impactos da deformidade de orelhas na qualidade de vida. Doze voluntários com diagnóstico clínico e genético de STC responderam ao questionário de qualidade de vida da OMS, divididos em grupos com orelhas normais (n = 6) versus orelhas afetadas (n = 6) e seus resultados foram comparados. A escala de Siviero foi usada para estratificar a qualidade de vida em satisfatória, intermediária e insatisfatória. A pontuação geral do grupo com orelhas normais foi de 73,13; a do grupo com orelhas afetadas de 71,81, ambos classificados como níveis intermediários de qualidade de vida e sem diferença significativa entre si. A deformidade de orelha não representa um ônus na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos que já se apresentam com outras deformidades e com escores de qualidade de vida intermediários.


Abstract Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable expression in which the ear may or may not be absent or with a malformation. Individuals with TCS suffer social stigma that may affect interaction with their peers. Quality of life instruments obtained through self-perception questionnaires are stigma identification tools and can enable social adjustment of these individuals. This study aims to assess the quality of life of individuals with TCS and to gauge the impacts of ear deformity on the quality of life. Twelve volunteers with a clinical and genetic diagnosis of TCS answered the WHO quality of life questionnaire and were divided into groups with normal ears (n = 6) versus affected ears (n = 6), and their results were compared. Siviero's scale was used to stratify the quality of life scores as satisfactory, intermediate and unsatisfactory. The overall score of the normal ears group was 73.13 and 71.81 for the affected ears group, and both were classified as an intermediate quality of life, with no statistically significant differences between them. Ear deformity is not a burden to the quality of life of these individuals, who already show other deformities and overall intermediate quality of life scores.

Dieciocho niños con malformación bilateral menores de 18 meses de vida fueron equipados con dispositivos de conducción ósea con vincha. En cuatro de estos pacientes los dispositivos provistos fueron bilaterales. En los niños mayores de cinco años se indicó cirugía de implante en 14 casos. En casos unilaterales se indicó procesador de sonido con vincha en seis niños menores de 18 meses de vida. Cinco de ellos ya han sido proporcionados y la están utilizando. En niños mayores de cinco años se indicó cirugía con implantes osteointegrados en 6 casos (AU)


Objective: To describe the clinical and audiological features of patients presenting with external and middle ear malformations. To detail the intervention with bone conduction processors and different implants in the treatment of children with moderate conductive or mixed hearing loss, conductive or mixed due to this type of congenital anomalies. Material and methods: A longitudinal, prospective, observational study was conducted in 223 consecutive patients with bilateral or unilateral aural malformations seen at the first visit or in follow-up between October 2013 and November 2014. The following data were analyzed: age, sex, associated malformations or syndromes, uni- or bilaterality of the malformation, classification of the malformation, characteristics of the external ear canal, the facial nerve, and presence of cholesteatoma. Adequate audiological evaluations for age were performed. The different management options are described (bone conduction devices with headband or implant). Results: 33% (73/223) presented with a bilateral ear malformation at a median age of 2 years (range, 1-14 years); 67% (150/223)) had a unilateral ear malformation: 49/150 on the left side and 101/150 on the right side, at a median age of 7 years (range, 1-16 years). Overall, 43% (96/223) were female and 57% (127/223) were male. Of all the children, 31% (23/73) with a bilateral malformation and 16% (24/150) with unilateral malformation had congenital syndromes. Regarding the degree of malformation, 56% of the patients had a grade III/IV ear malformation, 28% a grade II malformation, and 16% a grade I malformation; 68% of the cases had external ear canal atresia, 20% severe stenosis, and 12% mild stenosis with a middle ear malformation; 3.5% of patients (5/223) had facial paralysis; 4.5% (8/223) had cholesteatoma in the external ear canal with severe stenosis. Moderate conductive or mixed hearing loss was diagnosed in 98.6% of the ears with malformation. Sensorineural hearing loss was observed in 1.4%. Eighteen children with bilateral malformation under 18 months of age were fitted with a bone conduction device with a headband. Four of these patients needed bilateral devices. In 14 children over five years of age, implant surgery was indicated. In six children under 18 months of age with a unilateral malformation, a sound processor with headband was indicated. Five of them have already been fitted with the device. mplantation of a bone-anchored hearing aid was indicated in six children over five years of age (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Orelha em abano é a deformidade congênita mais comum de cabeça e pescoço, cuja transmissão se dá por herança autossômica dominante, sem predileção por gênero. A orelha proeminente ou "em abano" ocorre quando há um excesso ou hipertrofia da concha auricular, apagamento da antélice, um ângulo escafoconchal maior que 90º ou uma combinação destes, ocorrendo uni ou bilateralmente. O objetivo é apresentar uma abordagem conservadora para correção de orelha em abano, com a associação de técnicas. Métodos: Foi utilizada uma variação cirúrgica para realização de otoplastia com o auxílio de uma abordagem anterior para ressecção da concha auricular associada ao enfraquecimento da antélice com incisões parciais na cartilagem também por via anterior e a realização de pontos de Mustardé por via posterior para melhor definição da antélice, sem a fixação da concha à mastoide. Foram operados 200 pacientes com idade média de 17 anos, entre janeiro de 1987 e janeiro de 2015, sendo 60% do gênero feminino. Resultados: Dos 200 pacientes, apenas 24 necessitaram revisões cirúrgicas discretas. Conclusão: O procedimento cirúrgico é simples, facilmente reprodutível, proporcionando bons resultados, com alto grau de satisfação e baixo índice de complicações/morbidade.


Introduction: Protruding ear is the most common congenital deformity of the head and neck, with an autosomal dominant inheritance and no predilection for sex. Protruding ear or prominent ear occurs when there is concha excess or hypertrophy, erasure of the antihelix, a scapho-conchal angle greater than 90°, or a combination of these factors, occurring unior bilaterally. The objective is to present a conservative approach to correct protruding ear, with a combination of techniques. Methods: The otoplasty surgical technique involved an anterior approach for resection of the auricular concha, which was associated with weakening of the antihelix, and partial incisions of the cartilage were performed through anterior access and of Mustardé sutures, through posterior access for better definition of the antihelix without fixation of the concha to the mastoid. Two hundred patients with a mean age of 17 years underwent operations between January 1987 and January 2015, 60% of whom were female. Results: Of the 200 patients, only 24 patients needed discrete surgical revisions. Conclusion: The surgical procedure is simple, easily reproducible, provides good results, and is associated with a high degree of satisfaction and a low rate of complications/morbidities.

MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo, em que foram acompanhados 60 pacientes submetidos à otoplastia, no período de janeiro de 2014 a janeiro de 2015, no Hospital Municipal Barata Ribeiro. RESULTADOS: Entre as complicações precoces, citamos infecção (0%), hematoma (1,6%) e necrose de pele (3,3%). Entre as complicações tardias: assimetria (10%), recidiva (3,3%), extrusão de pontos (10%), granuloma, cicatriz hipertrófica (0%) e queloide (0%). Quando os pacientes foram questionados quanto aos resultados obtidos com a otoplastia, 3,3% responderam que o resultado foi ruim, 3,3% regular, 3,3% bom, 3,3% ótimo e 86,8% excelente. CONCLUSÃO: As taxas de complicações precoces e tardias são semelhantes às descritas na literatura.


INTRODUCTION: Protruding ears are caused by poor development of the antihelix, hyperplasia of the concha, abnormal cephaloauricular angle, a large and prominent lobule, or any combination of the above. METHODS: A prospective study was performed, in which 60 patients who underwent otoplasty were followed up from January 2014 to January 2015 at the Hospital Municipal Barata Ribeiro. RESULTS: Early complications included infection (0%), hematoma (1.6%), and skin necrosis (3.3%). Late complications included asymmetry (10%), recurrence (3.3%), extrusion of sutures (10%), granuloma formation (0%), hypertrophic scarring (0%), and keloid formation (0%). When patients were asked to rate the otoplasty, 3.3% stated that it was poor, 3.3% fair, 3.3% good, 3.3% very good, and 86.8% excellent. CONCLUSION: The rates of early and late complications are similar to those described in the literature.

ABSTRACT

AbstractBACKGROUND:Hair follicle nevus is a rare, congenital hamartoma with follicular differentiation characterized histologically by numerous, tiny, mature hair follicles. Trichofolliculoma, the histopathological features of which are quite similar to those of hair follicle nevus, is also a hamartoma that differs from hair follicle. Accessory tragus is a relatively common, benign congenital abnormality of the external ear with an incidence rate of 1 to 10 per 1,000 live births.OBJECTIVE:This study seeks to assess the discriminatory value of currently available, histological criteria in the differential diagnosis of hair follicle nevus, accessory tragi and trichofolliculoma.METHODS:Twenty-one patients comprising 9 cases of hair follicle nevus, 8 accessory tragi patients and 4 trichofolliculoma cases, were recruited to perform the study.RESULTS:There were 10 males and 11 females in the study group. No significant difference was observed between the three study groups in terms of age, gender or histopathological parameters such as density of hair follicles, subcutaneous fat score and presence of connective tissue framework. Cartilaginous component was seen in 8 cases that were diagnosed as accessory tragi, while central cyst and radiating hair follicles were seen in 4 cases which were diagnosed as trichofolliculoma.CONCLUSION:The results of our study showed that diagnostic discrimination of these diseases could be made only with the clinicopathologic correlation because of their clinical and histopathological similarities.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Tradicionalmente, múltiplas anomalias podem causar as orelhas proeminentes e foram desenvolvidas técnicas específicas para o tratamento de cada deformidade. Neste trabalho, testou-se uma abordagem única para alcançar resultados favoráveis. Método: Foram avaliados, retrospectivamente, os pacientes submetidos a otoplastia bilateral entre junho de 2010 e Dezembro de 2012, divididos em dois grupos: Grupo 1 - técnica convencional de Mustardé e Grupo 2 - Refinamento da técnica de Mustardé. Para comparação foram coletados os dados referentes às complicações precoces, tardias, à necessidade de reoperação e ao grau de satisfação do paciente. A análise estatística foi realizada através do teste exato de Fisher. Resultados: No Grupo 1 foram incluídos 9 pacientes tratados com a técnica tradicional de Mustardé. Houve um caso de extrusão de pontos (11,11%). Sete pacientes ficaram muito satisfeitos, um satisfeito e um insatisfeito por correção insuficiente, sendo reoperado. No Grupo 2 foram incluídos 19 pacientes submetidos a uma variação da técnica de Mustardé com 3 suturas no terço médio da orelha, rotacionando posteriormente o vértice da antélice. Houve um caso de infecção bilateral (5,26%). Dezessete pacientes ficaram muito satisfeitos, um satisfeito e outro insatisfeito por correção insuficiente, sendo reoperado. Não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos. Conclusão: A identificação da alteração básica relacionada com orelhas proeminentes permite uma abordagem única, de fácil aprendizado e execução, com resultados de aparência natural e elevado grau de satisfação do paciente.


Introduction: Traditionally, multiple abnormalities can cause prominent ears, and specific techniques have been developed for the treatment of each abnormality. In this study, we tested a single approach aimed at achieving satisfactory outcomes. Method: Patients submitted to bilateral otoplasty, between June 2010 and December 2012, were retrospectively evaluated and divided into two groups: group 1 ­ patients submitted to the conventional Mustardé technique and group 2 ­ those who underwent the modified Mustardé technique. For comparison, we collected data relating to early and late complications, requirement for a new surgery, and degree of patient satisfaction. Statistical analysis was performed with Fisher's exact test. Results: Group 1 included nine patients treated with the conventional Mustardé technique. A case of suture extrusion (11.11%) was observed. Seven patients reported to be very satisfied, one satisfied, and one dissatisfied because of insufficient correction and a subsequent need for a second surgery. Group 2 included 19 patients submitted to the modified Mustardé technique, which involved three sutures in the middle third of the ear and the posterior rotation of the vertex of the antihelix. One case of bilateral infection (5.26%) was observed. Seventeen patients reported to be very satisfied, one satisfied, and another dissatisfied because of insufficient correction, thus needing to undergo a second surgery. No statistical difference was observed between the two groups. Conclusion: The identification of the basic abnormality associated with prominent ears allows performing a single approach that is easy to learn and implement, in addition to providing good outcome (i.e., natural appearance) and a high degree of patient satisfaction.

ABSTRACT

A deficiência auditiva é um dos achados clínicos mais comuns em sujeitos com malformações de orelha. O tratamento consiste em realizar a cirurgia e/ou adaptar o aparelho de amplificação sonora por via óssea (AASI VO). A intervenção precoce é fundamental para favorecer a estimulação auditiva e desenvolvimento da fala e linguagem. OBJETIVO: Caracterizar o perfil audiológico de sujeitos com malformação congênita de orelha externa e/ou média e avaliar o benefício e a satisfação destes com o uso de AASI VO. MÉTODO: Estudo descritivo, sujeitos com malformações congênitas bilaterais de orelha externa e/ou média, deficiência auditiva condutiva ou mista, moderada ou grave e usuários de AASI VO. Avaliação do benefício utilizando teste de reconhecimento de sentenças com ruído competitivo e medidas de ganho funcional e avaliação da satisfação utilizando questionário internacional QI - AASI. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 13 sujeitos, sendo 61% do sexo masculino e 80% com deficiência auditiva condutiva moderada ou grave. Houve melhor desempenho na avaliação proposta na condição com AASI, quando comparada à condição sem AASI. CONCLUSÃO: Os AASI VO retroauriculares apresentaram vantagens para a população estudada e devem ser considerados como uma opção para intervenção. A satisfação foi confirmada pelos escores elevados obtidos no QI - AASI.


Hearing loss is one of the most common clinical findings in subjects with malformations of the ear. Treatment consists of surgery and/or adapt a hearing aid amplification by bone (HA VO). Early intervention is critical to auditory stimulation and development of speech and language. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the audiological profile of subjects with congenital malformation of the external ear and/or middle and evaluate the benefit and satisfaction of using HA VO. METHOD: A descriptive study, subjects with bilateral congenital malformations of the external ear and/or middle, conductive or mixed hearing loss, moderate or severe and HA VO users. Evaluation of the benefit test using sentence recognition in noise and measures of functional gain and satisfaction assessment questionnaire using international IQ - HA. RESULTS: 13 subjects were evaluated, 61% were male and 80% with moderate conductive hearing loss or severe. There was better performance in the evaluation proposal, provided with HA when compared to the condition without HA. CONCLUSION: HA VO showed advantages for the population studied and should be considered as an option for intervention. Satisfaction was confirmed by elevated scores obtained in IQ - HA.

ABSTRACT

The goal of aesthetic otoplasty is the correction of ear deformities by creating harmonious and symmetrical external ears, without visible scars. Otoplasty techniques based on the excision of postauricular skin are associated with high recurrence rates. Modern otoplasty is based on cartilage-cutting and cartilage-sparing techniques, alone or in combination, which lead to lower recurrence rates. Objective: We evaluated the efficacy of otoplasty combined with other techniques in the correction of ear deformities, based on a modified version of the "algorithm for otoplasty at the Craniofacial Center at Texas Children's Hospital". Methods: Forty patients, who underwent otoplasty for prominent ears in our institution between March and September of 2009, were prospectively assessed. The mastoid-helix distance was measured preoperatively (baseline) and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Results: The most common deformities were scaphoconchal angle greater than 90° (51.3%, 41/80 ears) and conchal hypertrophy > 2.5 cm (46.3%, 37/80 ears). Recurrence occurred in 2 (5%) patients and partial stenosis of the ear canal in 1 (2.5%). Significant reductions in the mastoid-helix distance were observed at the three time points compared with baseline (P

O objetivo da otoplastia estética é a correção de deformidades da orelha, criando orelhas externas harmoniosas e simétricas. As técnicas de otoplastia, baseadas na excisão da pele pós-auricular, estão associados com a recorrência elevada. A otoplastia moderna é baseada nas técnicas de ressecção e/ou modelagem da cartilagem, que levam que menores taxas de recorrência. Objetivo: Foi avaliada a eficácia da otoplastia com técnica combinada na correção de deformidades da orelha, baseado numa versão modificada do "algoritmo para otoplastia", na Centro Craniofacial do Hospital Infantil do Texas". Método: Quarenta pacientes submetidos à otoplastia por orelhas proeminentes, entre março e setembro de 2009, foram avaliados prospectivamente. A distância mastoide-hélice foi medida no pré-operatório e após 1, 3 e 6 meses após a cirurgia. Resultados: As deformidades mais comuns foram ângulo escafo_concha I maior que 90° (51,3%, 41/80 orelhas) e hipertrofia de concha> 2,5cm (46,3%, 37/80 orelhas). Reduções significativas na distância mastoide_hélice foram observadas nos três períodos em comparação com os valores basais (P

ABSTRACT

Background: Incomplete development and growth of the pinna can lead to a small or deformed pinna, called microtia. Aim: To report and evaluate the effectiveness of a surgical technique previously described for the treatment of microtia, based on a new anatomical-surgical classification. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study of patients treated at two plastic surgery departments from January 2008 to December 2010. We recruited a total of 15 patients aged 9 to 25 years. Thirteen (87 percent) had unilateral and 2 (13 percent) bilateral microtia. All patients underwent the surgical reconstructive technique described by Firmin. Results: Among patients with unilateral microtia, seven belonged to Firmin type I, five to type II and one to type IIIa. Both patients with bilateral microtia, were classified as type IIIb. In all cases with unilateral microtia, a good initial projection of the cartilage frame was achieved during the first surgical procedure. Six patients were subjected to a second operation. During 18 months follow up, four patients (16 percent) had complications. Conclusions: This surgical technique that is based on an anatomical surgical classification, achieves favorable and satisfactory results.


Objetivos: Reportar y evaluar la efectividad de una técnica quirúrgica, previamente descrita para el tratamiento de microtias, basado en un nuevo concepto de clasificación anátomo-quirúrgica. Material y Método: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes tratados en el Hospital Militar y Clínica Alemana de Santiago en el Servicio de Cirugía Plástica desde enero de 2008 hasta diciembre de 2010. Se reclutaron a un total de 15 pacientes, 13 (87 por ciento) de los cuales eran unilaterales y 2 (13 por ciento) bilaterales. A todos los pacientes se les realizó la reconstrucción mediante técnica quirúrgica de Firmin. Resultados: Se operó a 15 pacientes de rango de edad entre 9 y 25 años, con una mediana de 11 años. De los casos unilaterales; 7 correspondían a tipo I de Firmin, 5 casos a tipo II Firmin y un caso tipo IIIa. De los casos bilaterales, ambos tenían microtia tipo IIIb. Se logró en la totalidad de los casos unilaterales una buena proyección inicial del marco cartilaginoso durante el primer tiempo quirúrgico. Seis casos fueron sometidos a un segundo tiempo quirúrgico. Durante el seguimiento mínimo de 18 meses, se observaron complicaciones en 4 (16 por ciento) pacientes. Conclusiones: Se comprueba que mediante una técnica basada en la clasificación anátomo-quirúrgica, los resultados a corto plazo fueron favorables y satisfactorios.

ABSTRACT

A importância da intervenção cirúrgica em diminuir o sofrimento psicológico e melhorar a autoestima em pacientes com deformidades auriculares já está bem documentada. As pesquisas têm focado nos resultados das terapias com ênfase no paciente, observando principalmente satisfação, resultado funcional e impacto na qualidade de vida. Quantificar alterações na qualidade de vida tem sido um desafio. O uso de inquéritos válidos, a exemplo da Escala de Resultados de Glasgow (ERG), auxiliam na obtenção dos dados. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes submetidos à otoplastia realizada em serviço de residência médica, utilizando como base a ERG, bem como sua funcionalidade. CASUÍSTICA E MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo incluindo pacientes submetidos à otoplastia entre julho de 2009 e julho de 2010. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário oferecido ao paciente no retorno pós-operatório. RESULTADOS: Trinta e seis pacientes responderam ao questionário. Houve aumento na qualidade de vida, demonstrado pelas medianas positivas obtidas pelo questionário. Não houve diferença significativa quanto aos valores obtidos entre os sexos e entre diferentes faixas etárias. CONCLUSÃO: Os pacientes mostraram-se satisfeitos com o resultado pós-operatório. Houve aumento de qualidade de vida, conforme demonstrado pelos resultados positivos. A ERG pareceu-nos fácil e elucidativa.


The ear deformity surgery intervention impact on psychological and self-esteem aspects, in adults and children, is well documented. Recently, the studys are focused on patient satisfaction, funcional result and impact on quality of life. Any modification on patient's quality of life has been a challenge. The use of valid and established questionnairies, like Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI), assists on data analyse, turning it consistent. AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact on patients quality of life after otoplasty, through the GBI questionnaire.

ABSTRACT

Irrespective of the cause, abnormalities in shape, size, and position of body organs are often perceived as looking wrong. This perception can subject the individual to significant peer ridicule and social ostracism. Rehabilitation of patients with auricular defects can either be done by reconstructive surgery or by prosthetic means. The article draws a comparison between the implant-supported prosthesis and reconstructive surgery, listing the benefits, limitations, indications and contraindications of both the techniques. As both the available techniques give excellent results in appropriately selected situations, the restorative team must present all the alternatives to the patient and choose judiciously the better of the two.

ABSTRACT

A reconstrução para corrigir as deformidades auriculares, congênitas ou adquiridas, é uma cirurgia desafiadora devido à grande variabilidade clínica e dos tipos de tratamento. Firmin descreveu uma classificação cirúrgica com a finalidade de auxiliar o cirurgião plástico na realizaçãodo tratamento. Objetivo: Demonstrar que não existe uma regra única entre os tipos clínicos e os possíveis tipos de incisão na pele e apresentar a melhor maneira de utilizar a classificação cirúrgica de Firmin. Método: Foram avaliados 12 pacientes, todos portadores de deformidades congênitas ou adquiridas. Os pacientes foram classificados clínica e cirurgicamente pela autora sênior. Foram excluídos do estudo os pacientes submetidos à reconstrução de orelha sem a necessidadede cartilagem costal, utilizando cartilagem conchal da orelha contralateral. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos à reconstrução de orelha e acompanhados por um ano. Foi avaliado também o índice de complicações. Resultados: As classificações cirúrgicas de incisão na pele foram: 3 pacientes tipo II, 2 pacientes tipo IIIa e 4 pacientes tipo IIIb. Os tipos de maquete foram: 5 pacientes tipo I e 4 pacientes tipo III. Não houve mudanças das indicações cirúrgicas. O índice de complicações foi considerado baixo. Conclusão: A classificação cirúrgica de Firmin para reconstrução auricular demonstrou ser uma excelente ferramenta para direcionar o cirurgião plástico no planejamento terapêutico. O tipo de incisão, proposto por Firmin, a ser utilizado na correção cirúrgica tem relação com o tamanho e a localidade do remanescente auricular ou com sua ausência, e é independente da classificação clínica.


The reconstruction to correct microtias and acquired ear deformities is a defying surgery due to clinical variations and many forms of treatment. Rogers and Tanzer described the clinical classification that is the most utilized in the literature and Firmin described a surgical classification to assist the plastic surgeon in the treatment. Objective: Demonstrate that there is no strict indications between the clinical types and types of skin incision and to present the best way to use Firmin’s surgical classification. Methods: 12 patients with congenital (microtias) or acquired (burn sequela) ear deformities were evaluated. The patients were categorized clinically and surgically by the senior author. All patients under went reconstructive surgery and were followed up for one year. It was also evaluated the complication index. Results: The clinical classification was: 3 patients as small anomaly, 4 as lobular type, 3 as conchal type and 2 patients with total defect / burn sequel. The surgical classification of skin incision was: 3 patients as type II, 2 as type IIIa and 4 as type IIIb. For the framework was: 5 patients type I and 4 patients type III. The complication index was low. Conclusion: The Firmin’s surgical classification for ear reconstruction demonstrated to be an excellent tool to guide the plastic surgeon in the therapeutic treatment. The Firmin’s types of incision utilized in the corrective surgery have a relationship with the size and location of the auricular remanent and are independent of the clinical classification.

ABSTRACT

Differences in the balance of shape, size, and position of body organs are immediately perceived as "looking wrong" and this perception can subject the individual to significant peer ridicule and social ostracism, often expressing as intense shame and anguish in the attitude of the afflicted. Rehabilitation of such patients can be remarkably beneficial on the individual's self-esteem and body image. The onus of the deed lies in the hands of a team that combines artistic excellence with surgical expertise, by combining the skills of anaplastologists, surgeons, and prosthodontists. This is a review of a few surgical and prosthetic considerations in the management of auricular defect and a case description of management of a patient of microtia following similar guidelines in fabrication of the epithesis.

ABSTRACT

A síndrome de Levy-Hollister ou lacrimo-auriculo-dento-digital (LADD) é uma síndrome rara, de herança autossômica dominante, podendo ocorrer de forma isolada ou em várias gerações de uma mesma família. O diagnóstico é feito por meio da identificação de anormalidades do sistema lacrimal, como redução ou ausência de produção de lágrimas, alterações ósseas, dentárias, de glândulas salivares e orelha externa. Trata-se de uma criança, de 13 anos, em acompanhamento no Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual de São Paulo desde os cinco meses de idade, com quadro clínico compatível com a síndrome, apresentando quadro de olho seco. Devido ao fato das manifestações oculares ocorrerem precocemente, sendo o oftalmologista um dos primeiros profissionais a ser procurado, o mesmo deve ter conhecimento da síndrome, a fim de diagnosticar e acompanhar adequadamente o indivíduo acometido.


Levy-Hollister or lacrimo-auriculo-dento-digital (LADD) syndrome is a rare entity with autossomic dominant inheritance occuring as an isolated form or affecting many family generations. Diagnosis is based on the identification of the lacrimal drainage system abnormalities with reduction or absence of tear production and bone, teeth, salivar glands and outer ear abnormalities. A 13 year-old male patient has been followed at the Hospital Servidor Público Estadual in São Paulo due to dry eye since his first year of life. Due to the occurrence of early ocular manifestations in patients with Levy-Hollister or lacrimo-auriculo-dento-digital syndrome, ophthalmologists must be aware to recognize and control this syndrome.
