Original Articles: PDF OnlyA Technique for the Correction of CryptotiaChana, Jagdeep S. BSc, FRCS; Fourie, Le Roux FCS(SA) Author Information From the Department of Plastic Surgery, Pinderfields Hospital, Wakefield, Yorkshire, England Annals of Plastic Surgery 39(3):p 261-265, September 1997. Buy Abstract An alternative technique for the correction of cryptotia is presented that involves the use of a trefoil flap in combination with a preauricular flap. The main advantage is the simple design of the skin incisions, which provides sufficient skin for an adequate release of the invaginated helix and allows tension-free postauricular skin closure without the need for a skin graft. © Williams & Wilkins 1997.
