[Use of absorbable suture material for the correction of prominent ears (author's transl)]. 1978

J Vandeput, and L Gielen, and J Vanstapel

The ester of the polyglycolic acid is very useful to maintain a correction of prominent ears. The good tolerance and longstanding traction force allow a satisfactory healing of the cartilage. Catgut for skin closure behind the ear has the psychological advantage of not having to be removed. This paper deals with the respective advantages of available suture materials.
