Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Nose and Nasal Cavity

Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract

The upper respiratory tract plays a vital role in the respiratory system, comprising several structures that facilitate air intake and prepare air for the lungs. It also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens and particles. This tract includes the nose and nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the paranasal sinuses, and the pharynx, each with specific functions and features.
Nose and nasal cavity
The nose and nasal cavity represent the main external openings of the respiratory tract.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

Forehead defects exceeding 2.0 to 2.5 cm typically necessitate complex multistaged forehead flap reconstruction.
Standard surgical protocols may not always be the most suitable approach for all patients with large forehead defects.

Purpose of the Study:

To review and present alternative surgical techniques for repairing forehead defects ranging from 2.0 to 2.5 cm.
To offer a broader perspective on reconstructive options beyond the conventional multistaged forehead flap.

Main Methods:

Literature review of surgical techniques for forehead defect reconstruction.
Analysis of case studies and outcomes for alternative repair methods.

Main Results:

Identification of several alternative reconstructive options for large forehead defects.
Discussion of the advantages and limitations of each alternative technique.

Conclusions:

Multistaged forehead flaps are not the sole solution for large forehead defects.
Alternative surgical strategies can provide viable and effective repair options for specific cases.
