The authors analyse long-term outcomes of surgical treatment of congenital defects of the floor of the auricle. They came to the conclusion that surgical techniques used in the correction of the defects need some modification. In the presence of a wide, elastic ascending crus of the helix, when creating the anthelix, the crus should be made finer. In the presence of a large and wide scaphoid fossa it should be made smaller. After reduction of the floor of the auricle the margin of the auricle should be shortened.
