It belongs to the closed ear pinning surgeries because the ear is not cut open for the placement of the sutures. According to the experience of the author the Stitch Method is suitable for all protruding ears. The stitch method is the most frequently performed otoplasty among the minimally invasive methods.

According to Weerda: [6] Cosmetically, the different procedures of all otoplasty surgery types can cause disfiguring cartilage edges along the anterior surface of the antihelix if the cartilage is scored too deeply or the perichondrium is injured; post-operative bleeding; hematoma; relapse (ears protruding again); hypersensitivity; pain with ...
Otoplasty (surgery of the ear) was developed in ancient India and is described in the medical compendium, the Sushruta Samhita (Sushruta's Compendium, c. 500 AD).The book discussed otoplastic and other plastic surgery techniques and procedures for correcting, repairing and reconstructing ears, noses, lips, and genitalia that were amputated as criminal, religious, and military punishments.
The surgery is preferably done at the earliest possible age in order to avoid psychological distress. Correction by otoplasty involves changing the shape of the ear cartilage so that the ear is brought closer to the side of the head. [2] The skin is not removed, but the shape of the cartilage is altered. The surgery does not affect hearing. [3]
This is a plastic surgery of the antihelix that is carried out with the scratch or scoring technique. Underlying this method is the evidence that the cartilage bends itself convexly to the opposite side after scratching or scoring. [citation needed] A long incision is made on the back of the ear and a strip of skin is removed.

The Mustardé ear pinning surgery is, according to the opinion of Weerda [4] not suitable for all ears. A similar method, by which the cartilage is left intact, is the so-called Stitch method. [5] But the ear is not cut open with the stitch method, which is why it belongs to the closed and minimally invasive otoplasties. [citation needed]
