Seam technique

In surgery of the protruding ears ( otopexy ), the suture technique is a technique in which the new form of the anthelix is created using only threads. There are no superficial or deep cuts and excisions of the cartilage . A typical representative of this technique is the Mustardé otoplasty operation for traditional methods and the so-called thread method for the minimally invasive special forms of oturgery .
