Abstract:Objective To analyze the nonsurgical treatment effect of ear molding device for congenital auricle deformities in infants, and to provide guidance for improvement of efficacy.Methods A total of 65 infants (95 ears) with congenital auricle deformities admitted from Jan to June 2021 were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into 3 groups according to the initial age of correction:group A (≤ 7 days) (n=31), group B (8-42 days) (n=50), and group (C >42 days) (n=14). The correction time, correction effect and complications of 3 groups were recorded and compared.Results The correction time of group A was significantly shorter than those of group B and group C (P<0.05). The differences of effect and cure rate among the three groups were statistically significant (P<0.05), group A was better than group B, and group B was better than group C. The differences of incidence of complications among the three groups were statistically insignificant (P>0.05). The main complication was eczema, which resolved within 2 days after application of anti-eczema drugs.Conclusions The nonsurgical treatment by ear molding device is effective for congenital auricular deformities. The earlier the child receives the treatment, the better the effect and the shorter the correction time are.
