ABSTRACT
The paper presents a detailed description of the hybrid otoplasty technique, which involves controlled cartilage modification and subsequent suture fixation, as well as the authors’ personal experience with this method. Such an approach provides a natural shape and stable contour of the ear, and the surgical intervention is performed minimally invasively, reducing the risk of complications.
