Abstract
An alternative technique for the correction of cryptotia is presented that involves the use of a trefoil flap in combination with a preauricular flap. The main advantage is the simple design of the skin incisions, which provides sufficient skin for an adequate release of the invaginated helix and allows tension-free postauricular skin closure without the need for a skin graft.
