Surgical Approaches to the Face
a | Bicoronal flap procedure: frontal sinus, naso-orbitoethmoid (superior aspect), medial canthal tendon, supraorbital rim, orbital roof, superior aspect of the medial and lateral orbital wall, zygomatic arch, and mandibular condyle (with preauricular extension) | (Peterson's 2nd ed.) |
b | Perinasal incisions: naso-orbitoethmoid region, medial canthal tendon, and nasolacrimal sac. These incisions are generally avoided because of the potential for significant scarring. This incision is not needed when the bicoronal incision is used.
Subciliary and transconjunctival incision with lateral canthotomy: infraorbital rim, medial and lateral orbital wall, and orbital floor |
|
c | Upper eyelid crease incision/Superior Tarsal crease: superior and lateral regions of the orbit. It is generally used to expose the frontozygomatic suture. This incision is not needed when the bicoronal incision is used | |
d | Subciliary: infraorbital rim, medial and lateral orbital wall, and orbital floor | |
e | Transconjunctival incision with lateral canthotomy does allow access to the frontozygomatic suture. This requires detachment of the lateral canthal tendon and incision through the orbicularis oculi muscle and periosteum deep to the lateral periorbital skin. The subciliary approach may allow better access to the lateral nasal region | |
f | Maxillary vestibular incision: maxilla and zygomaticomaxillary buttress | |
g | Mandibular vestibular incision: mandible from the ramus to the symphysis. This approach is not usually recommended for comminuted fractures – Skip Premolar area | |
h | Cervical incisions: mandible, except for when there is a high condylar neck fracture. The approach is generally indicated when anatomic reduction is crucial. It allows the surgeon to visualize the reduction of the lingual cortex. It is also indicated for comminuted and complicated fractures such as a fracture of the atrophic edentulous mandible |
