Abstrakt: An essential requisite for successful ear surgery is a patent external ear. A number of anatomic variants or abnormalities may obstruct its lumen, resulting in conductive hearing loss, hampering access for routine ear cleansing, or obscuring underlying pathology. This article reviews a surgical technique for canalplasty that can be modified to successfully treat either bone or soft tissue blockages of the external auditory canal.
