Abstract

Background: the otohematoma is a condition of traumatic origin of the auricular pavilion that is characterized by volume increase, deformity, pain and a tendency to unsightly sequels if the imposed therapy is not adequate and timely.
Objective: compare the results of the conventional technique with the proposed technique.
Methods: a quasi-experimental study was carried out in patients with otohematomas of the auricular pavilion for various reasons. The universe consisted of 60 patients who attended the Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery clinic in Octavio de la Concepción and Pedraja hospital, from January 2012 to December 2014. 30 patients underwent the conventional therapeutic method and in another 30, a pear was used for maintained suction according to the proposed technique.
Results: the disease prevailed in ages within the second and third decade of life and most of the patients were males. Sport, work and military activities occupied the first places as causes of otohematomas. More than half of the patients from the study group cured in a fast way. Complications were infrequent in that group. The results of surgical treatment in the study group were satisfactory and superior to those from the control group.
Conclusions: the clinical, therapeutic, social and military results were higher for the patients to whom the proposed technique was applied.
