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

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.

[Study on the recent application of ear correction model in children with congenital auricular deformity]

Objective:To study the short-term effect of Earwell ear correction model on congenital auricular deformity in children. Method:Selected 38 children with ear malformation, a total of 42 ears, born at the age of 7 days to 176 days, and the average age was 62.40 days, and all of patients were used the U.S. Earwell correction model for correction. Result:Final auricular morphologic results were classified as excellent (normal shape), good (nearnormal shape), and poor (slight or no improvement). And the patients were divided into group 1 (neonatal period), group 2 (28-90 days) and group 3 (more than 90 days) according to age, after using the Earwell ear correction device, the result which evaluated excellent are 100.00%, 89.47% and 72.73% respectively, and the average correction times are 16.75 days, 26.26 days and 38.91 days respectively, the ratio of complications are 0, 73.68% and 100.00% respectively. Conclusion:The effection of Earwell ear correction model is significant for the correction of children with congenital auricular deformity , the earlier treatment cause the better result, the shorter of the correcting time , and the lower of the complication rate.
