| Abstract: | There is a high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomitingafter surgical correction of prominent ears. A prospective,randomized study was performed to determine if the method ofdressing the ears influenced the incidence of postoperativevomiting. Avoidance of packing the external auditory meatusand concha produced a significant reduction in postoperativenausea (83% vs 30%; P < 0.005) and vomiting (63% vs 22%;P <0.01). (Br. J.
