What are the different types of human ears?

1. Cauliflower ears. Cauliflower ear: After the auricle is burned or traumatized, the cartilage is infected and destroyed, causing the cartilage to become thickened, deformed, and curled up. The auricle has an extremely irregular shape, which is called cauliflower ear. Auricular deformity correction methods and countermeasures: For the repair of cauliflower ear, if the remaining skin is still good, you can make an incision from the edge of the helix in front of the ear, carefully peel off the cartilage, loosen it, and completely remove the thickened or ossified cartilage and scar tissue. A curved piece of cartilage is then implanted. 2. Cryptic ear, also known as baggy ear, is a rare congenital ear malformation. It is characterized by the fact that except for the normal earlobe, the skin in front of the ear is connected with the skin on the cranial side. The cartilage structure of the auricle is basically normal but is buried in the skin. It cannot protrude normally, the cranio-auricular groove disappears, the normal auricle shape appears when lifted or compressed, and then retracts after being relaxed. Sometimes there is angular deformity of the upper helix and folding of the helical cartilage. Three, attract the wind. Fingertip ear is a common congenital ear deformity, mostly seen on both sides. The characteristics are that the pinna is slightly larger, the upper part is flat, the helix is ??underdeveloped and the shape disappears; the concha is overdeveloped, and the angle between the scaphoid and the concha is greater than 150 degrees (normally 90 degrees). Plastic surgery for rheumatoid arthritis should generally be performed on both sides at the same time. Although there are many repair methods, the basic principles are to repair the opposite helix and its upper leg and narrow the concha cavity. 4. Cup-shaped ears. Cup-shaped ears, also known as curled ears or lop ears, are a common congenital ear deformity that mostly occurs on both sides. It is characterized by tightening of the helix rim, curling and adhesion of the helix and auricular cartilage, narrow scaphoid and triangular fossa, and in severe cases, the upper part of the auricle is reduced and drooped, the shape of the scaphoid and counterhelix disappears, and the entire auricle becomes tubular, which is called scaphoid ear. . Repair of cup-shaped ears is generally performed after the age of 6. In principle, three parts of the deformity need to be corrected. One is to correct the curled or drooping upper part of the auricle, the other is to correct the lack of entire helix length, and the third is to reconstruct the helix to correct the concha deformity. . 5. Earlobe deformity: (1) Repair of cleft earlobe: Cleft earlobe is mostly caused by violent pulling of earrings. During repair, both sides of the crack can be fully resected and re-aligned and sutured. This is relatively simple and earrings cannot be worn for the time being, and additional perforations are required. (2) Correction of earlobe adhesions: mostly caused by spontaneous healing after burns or trauma. During repair, the scar should be completely released to reset the earlobe.
