Algorithm-Assisted Decision Making in Otoplasty.

Introduction: Ear congenital deformities represent an aesthetical concern in adult patients and a social matter in children. An accurate assessment of ear defects should be made preoperatively in order to plan surgery adequately.

Materials And Methods: In order to correctly assess the ear preoperatively the authors have considered four different subunits: helical and scaphal region (A), antihelical region (B), conchal region (C) and lobule region (D).
