Описание: Excerpt from Operations for Correcting the Deformity Due to Prominent Ears

This contrivance was tried faithfully, off and on, for several months; but at the end of this time we could not see any great improvement in the position of the ears.

Case II. While these experiments were going on, a man with very prominent ears came to me at the Boston Dispensary (february 28, and ex pressed a wish that I should do an Operation upon his ears, to keep them back. He said that he was greatly annoyed by boys and others on the street, who ridiculed him on account of his deformity. The cartilage in this case was so stiff that I thought it best to excise a portion of it. Having made an elliptical incision be hind the ear, I removed a piece of skin and of cartilage of corresponding shape and size. The axis of this ellipse was vertical, that is, parallel with the adjacent side of the head. All this was done from the rear, and the skin on the anterior surface of the ear was not interfered with. The cut edges of cartilage were united by deep sutures, and the skin stitched together over them. An antiseptic dressing was applied and the ear was bandaged firmly back against the head. In this Operation I was assisted by Dr. Baldwin.

Although the wound did not heal by first intention, yet it did not gape, and when the scar had formed, the position was excellent.

In spite of the patients assurance that he would have a similar Operation done upon the other ear he did not return at the appointed time; and I have not seen him since. He probably dreaded the pain of an other operation, for under no circumstances could I prevail upon him to take ether.
