    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Craniofacial Surgery
    • Surgical Anatomy

    Background:

    • Orbitofrontal reconstruction presents challenges in achieving satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes.
    • Existing techniques may lead to complications such as nerve damage and alopecia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel, combined surgical technique for orbitofrontal flap mobilization.
    • To evaluate the anatomical and aesthetic outcomes of this technique.
    • To assess the technique's ability to prevent specific surgical complications.

    Main Methods:

    • A combined approach involving subgaleal dissection posteriorly and subcutaneous dissection anteriorly.
    • Mobilization of an "albatross wing" shaped galea flap, irrigated by temporal vessels.
    • Dissection free from frontal muscle and suprazygomatic aponeurotic sheath to allow extensive flap mobility.

    Main Results:

    • The technique provides ample space for flap repositioning, achieving both anatomical accuracy and aesthetic satisfaction.
    • Preservation of frontal and orbicularis oculi nerve branches was achieved.
    • The procedure effectively avoids surgical alopecia and traction-related hair loss.

    Conclusions:

    • This combined orbitofrontal flap mobilization technique offers a safe and effective method for craniofacial reconstruction.
    • The described approach yields superior aesthetic and functional results while minimizing iatrogenic injury.
    • The technique represents a significant advancement in reconstructive surgery for the orbitofrontal region.
