Objective:This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using a strip-shaped cymba conchae orthosis for the nonsurgical correction of complex auricular deformities.Methods:Clinical data were collected from 2020 to 2021 for 6 patients who underwent correction using a strip-shaped cymba conchae orthosis.The indications,corrective effects,and complications associated with use of the orthosis were analyzed.Results:There were four indications for treatment:cryptotia with helix adhesion;cryptotia with grade Ⅰ microtia;cryptotia with excessive helix thickness;and auricular deformity beyond the treatment time window(≥6 months).Excellent corrective effects were observed in all 6 patients.Complications occurred in one patient,who recovered after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion:The use of a strip-shaped cymba conchae orthosis alone or combined with a U-shaped helix orthosis presents a feasible approach for correcting complex auricular deformities or deformities beyond the treatment time window in pediatric patients.
