Cryptotia, which is a rather common anomaly among Japanese, is found in one of about every 400 Japanese. We tried the prosthesis method and obtained good results, with 26 cases (31 auricles). The results obtained were good for 15 cases, fair in 10, and poor in 1. By this method, complete correction including that of the cartilage is possible for the patients up to 8 years old, and correction by extension of the skin is possible for older age groups. This method can be applied to patients 2 or 3 years old without limiting it to those of less than 1 year.
