| dc.description.abstract | Meatoplasty is an operative technique to widen the lateral cartilaginous part of the external auditory canal. Cartilage displaced anteriorly from the cavum conchae of the pinna, as well as bulky underlying soft tissue can cause narrowing of the lateral part of the ear canal. The aim of a meatoplasty is to enlarge the lumen of the entrance of the ear canal by removing the obstructing cartilage of cavum conchae as well as the underlying soft tissue. There are 2 clinical scenarios where a meatoplasty may be required i.e. as an integral part of another otological procedure, or where there is lateral stenosis of the external ear canal | |
