Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques

Background:

  • Forehead masses present cosmetic concerns impacting first impressions.
  • Conventional surgical approaches often result in visible scarring, despite efforts to conceal incisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and cosmetic outcomes of endoscopic approaches for forehead mass removal.
  • To compare endoscopic techniques with conventional methods regarding scar visibility and patient satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • Endoscopic visualization utilized for all procedures.
  • Small incisions made behind the hairline for mass extraction.
  • Osteotomes or rasps employed for osteomas.
  • Post-operative compressive dressing applied to minimize hematoma and swelling.

Main Results:

  • Excellent cosmetic outcomes achieved with no visible forehead scarring.
  • Endoscopic surgery demonstrates advantages in scar reduction compared to traditional methods.
  • Potential difficulties include large mass removal, caudal dissection, and increased operative time.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic forehead mass removal offers superior cosmesis by avoiding visible scars.
  • Patient selection is crucial, considering mass characteristics and potential complications like incomplete removal, hematoma, and swelling.
  • The technique is advantageous but requires careful consideration of its limitations and surgeon expertise.
