AbstractCorrection of prominent ears is a commonly performed operation, not without complications. We present a retrospective analysis of the results of 122 operations for correction of prominent ears performed in the 12 months from April 1995 to March 1996, and the results of a patient questionnaire. Complications were recorded and analysed. Anterior scoring appears to have a higher complication rate if supplemented by cartilage sutures. Complication rates appear to be highest for unsupervised SHOs. Head bandages are particularly likely to fall off in boys under 7 years of age.Copyright 1999 The British Association of Plastic Surgeons.
