Versatility of Bicoronal flap approach in head and neck surgeries
Abstract
Abstract : Bicoronal approach popularised by Tessier is one
of the versatile approaches for skull and frontal region (1-6).In
this article we present our experience regarding Bicoronal flap
approach in 3 different cases. Each patient had different
pathologies In frontal region for which the same approach had
been used. we also describe in detail about the incision , its
indications and contra indications, advantages and
disadvantages. Incision was made in hair bearing area.
Hence post operatively , cosmetic results were appealing in
all the patients 9 . It preserves the supraorbital neurovascular
bundle, so complaints related to that are avoided. In this
article, we discuss about the individual patient , merits and
demerits of this particular approach in each patient.
