[Analysis of follow-up results of neonatal congenital auricle deformity after noninvasive correction]

Abstract

Objective:To analyze the follow-up results of children with different types of auricle deformities after non-invasive correction, to understand the rebound rate of the children after correction, so as to provide corresponding guidance for improving the correction effect of the children's auricle. Methods:During the correction period, follow up once a day through WeChat, and once every 2 days after the correction, lasting 1 week，and if there was no change, the last follow-up was carried out after 1 month. Results:Thirty-three cases with ear deformities were corrected, 6 cases of cryptotia, 4 cases of cup ear, 9 cases of ear tubercle malformation,4 cases of lope ear, 4 cases of constricted ear, 3 cases of prominent ear, 1 case of cryptotia mixed constricted ear, 2 cases of cryptotia mixed prominent ear. The age of 7 d to 9 months, all were corrected with EarWell non-invasive corrective system, correction duration time was 3 weeks to 6 months. Conclusion:The age requirements for correction of hidden ear deformities are relatively loose, and they can be corrected within 1 year old, and the correction time is about one month. With good parental post-correction care, the rebound rate is almost 0; children with ring-shaped ear deformities , Requires higher age, longer correction time, up to 6 months, rebound rate is inversely proportional to correction time. The correction time of children with helix deformity and lop ears is inversely proportional to the age of the children. Good nursing can reduce the rebound rate of auricle deformity and improve the correction effect.
