Q

Techniques that can utilise to facilitates primary closure

A

First, the resection
can be designed so that the closure is oriented perpendicular to the
relaxed skin tension lines; this tends to be in a sagittal direction on
the scalp and in a transverse direction on the forehead. Second, wide
undermining in the subgaleal layer along the circumference of the
defect can reduce tension. Finally, galeal scoring is an adjunctive
technique that can increase scalp pliability and reduce closure tension.

Q

What is the back grafting

A

Reconstruction of larger defects may require
elevating the local flap in the subgaleal plane and maintaining the
pericranium so that the donor site can then be closed with a skin graft

Q

Contraindications in using tissue expansion in forehead and scalp surgery

A

It is less germane in the oncologic setting when there is typically an urgent need for resection,
a history of radiation therapy or the anticipated need for adjuvant radiation precludes the use of tissue expansion,

Vascularized bone flaps are useful for larger calvarial defects

A

F Vascularized bone flaps are useful for smaller calvarial defects

30
Q

Options of vascularised free bone graft

A

chimeric latissimus-serratus anterior flap can be
designed with vascularized rib

chimeric scapular/parascapular flap has also been
described for this purpose, but with using a segment of scapula

free fibula flap has -specifically for
replacing the anterior table of the frontal sinus in the setting of a
chronic mucocele.

Q

The skin of the scalp is among the thickest in the body, measuring 3 to
8 mm

galea in galea scoring

skin graft and is not recommended as a long-term solution or in the context of radiation.
In any situation,

A

T

39
Q

once healed, the graft will not bear hair. Additionally,
because of the difference in thickness between the native scalp and a
skin graft, a noticeable contour deformity will be present

A

T

40
Q

Most local flaps are designed using the
rotation-advancement principle and should be oriented to recruit
tissue from areas of the scalp with laxity, such as the parietal and temporal regions.

A

T

41
Q

healing by secondary intention can have a better cosmetic outcome than skin grafting, as can be frequently seen in the treatment of
donor defects for forehead flaps

A

T

42
Q

The incision used to place the
expander should be designed in the area of scalp that will be excised
and should be oriented perpendicular to the axis of expansion to help
prevent incisional dehiscence and exposure of the device

A

T

43
Q

In large
defects, multiple expanders can be placed; ports are typically remote.

A

T

44
Q

The trapezius
muscle can be designed as either a muscle or myocutaneous flap and
can be used to reconstruct the occipital scalp

A

T

45
Q

The superficial temporal artery tends to be more superficial and
posterior, whereas the vein may exist in a slightly deeper plane and
more anterior

A

T

46
Q

If the ST vessels are not available or insufficient, the neck provides a multitude of options: facial, lingual, superior thyroid

A

47
Q

The vein grafts should be placed beneath a widely undermined cutaneous tunnel, and the patient should be prevented
from wearing eyeglasses during the immediate postoperative period
to avoid compression

A

T

48
Q

The incidence of cutaneous malignancies located on the scalp is higher in elderly patients and continues to rise after age 65 years.

A

T

49
Q

Muscle flaps are bulky initially, but will atrophy
over time; this effect is accelerated if postoperative radiation is given
. Once the flap atrophies, it contours nicely along
the underlying skull.

A

T

50
Q

Flaps with a skin paddle are thought to be more durable
and may be preferred in situations where the flap is covering a cranioplasty

A

T

51
Q

The disadvantage to a skin paddle is that it may require a
secondary debulking procedure to improve the contour, as these flaps
are less likely to atrophy

A

T

52
Q

Calvarial reconstruction is most commonly performed using
autologous reconstruction

A

F Calvarial reconstruction is most commonly performed using
alloplastic materials

53
Q

Calvarial bone can be harvested using an
in situ technique or an extracranial approach

A

T

54
Q

The advantage of in situ techniqueis that
it avoids accessing the intracranial space

A

T

55
Q

Disadvantages include the
creation of a depression contour deformity along the skull; additionally, the size of the graft is limited

A

T

56
Q

In the extracranial approach, a craniotomy is performed and a full-thickness section of the calvarium is
removed.

A

T

57
Q

in men, rib graft is harvested through an incision directly over
the rib, whereas in women, an inframammary fold incision is better camouflaged.

A

T

58
Q

Gaps between the rib grafts can be filled
with either particulate cadaveric allograft bone, calcium phosphate
bone cement, or hydroxyapatite putty

winging of the scapula

taken during exposure

taken during exposure
