This summary is machine-generated.

A new zigzag incision technique, known as the stealth incision, effectively conceals surgical scars on the scalp. This method prevents hair from parting away from the scar, improving cosmetic outcomes after coronal procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Coronal scalp incisions commonly result in visible scarring.
  • This scarring can lead to unnatural hair parting, particularly when the hair is wet.
  • Existing methods for minimizing scar visibility are often insufficient.
