For comparison of two methods , auriculocephalic distances were measured at three levels which were level @ ( the most superior point of the auricle ) , level @ ( the midpoint of the auricle ) and level @ ( level of the lobule ) pre-operatively ( preop ) ; and measurements were repeated at the end of the surgery ( PO ( @-day ) ) , @st month ( PO ( @-Mo ) ) and @th month ( PO ( @-Mo ) ) after the surgery , in both groups .
