The technique has been mainly used for mastoid surgery but it may also be used to address other causes of meatal stenosis. It involves removing most of the cartilage in the conchal bowl and soft tissue in the external auditory meatus. Cartilage from the helical root may also be sacrificed as part of this procedure. Our technique produces an excellent cosmetic result and an adequate meatoplasty which is easy to monitor in the outpatient setting.展开更多

They are often secondary, either to an erotic curiosity, <span style="white-space:nowrap;">û</span> or to psychiatric disorders. The diagnosis remains clinically aided by imagery. Treatment is most often endoscopic, but in some cases the use of open surgery is necessary. We reported the case of an 80-year-old man with no history of behavioral disorders;a wooden rod was inserted into the urethra to empty his bladder. The care consisted of a meatoplasty under locoregional anesthesia. Upon discharge, the patient had a good urine flow.展开更多
