To investigate the effect of helix and antihelix skin degloving technique in correction surgery of prominent ears. Twenty-three cases of prominent ears were corrected by helix and antihelix skin degloving technique. The clinical results were observed. All the prominent ears were corrected with natural appearance and good symmetry results. The distance from the helix to the skull was decreased obviously (P<0.05). Cranial ear angle, the angle of helix and ear boat were significantly reduced (P<0.05). No complications such as infection, hematoma, skin flap necrosis and deformity recurrence occurred. The auricle skin degloving technique has advantages of exact suture position, good shape, no obvious cartilage hurt and simple operation procedure.
