Minimally invasive ear surgery

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Of minimally invasive otoplasty surgery is when the ear is opened at any point by cuts. It is a closed surgical procedure in contrast to the traditional open ear surgery (see Otopexy ) and the EarFold method, in which the ear is cut open to varying degrees and skin is detached from the cartilage. Weerda has summarized the minimally invasive otoplasty operations under the term special forms of oturgery . Among them, the Merck suture method is the most commonly used minimally invasive ear- rest method .
