[Comments on minimally invasive otoplasty (MIO)]
Abstract:
According to our now quite large experience, minimally invasive otoplasty (MIO) is a reliable technique to correct protruding ears. With the correct indication its results are aesthetically pleasing, natural and lasting. The limitations of minimally invasive otoplasty techniques have though to be seen and respected. New instruments facilitate the procedure and reduce complication rates. Especially keloids and large hypertrophic scars due to extensive skin incisions and resections on the pinna backside are almost excluded with minimally invasive otoplasty. We present our concept that has grown over two decades.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.
Systematic or...
