Incisionless otoplasty
Abstract
Otoplasty is a continually evolving procedure that significantly and beneficially alters the patient's facial appearance. Multiple techniques have been and are currently in use. A new method for partial or total correction of the "lop" protuberant ear deformity is described, the basis for this technique being percutaneous placement of retention sutures. Percutaneous placement leads to an incisionless otoplasty technique. Depending on the ear deformity, the incisionless technique may be used alone or in conjunction with other methods.

“6 • Incisionless techniques first described by Fritsch 10 revolve around the percutaneous placement of mattress sutures through needle punctures, negating the need for large skin incisions and theoretically reducing the risk of haematoma, necrosis and keloid/hypertrophic scarring.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
