Background: Highly performed nowadays, the pterional craniotomy (PC) has several widespread variants. However, these procedures are associated with complications such as temporalis muscle atrophy, facial nerve frontal branch damage, and masticatory difficulties. The postoperative cranial aesthetic is, nonetheless, the main setback according to patients. This review aims to map different pterional approaches focusing on final aesthetics. Methods: This review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. Studies were classified through the Oxford method. We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from January 1969 to February 2021 for cohorts and randomized clinical trials that met our inclusion criteria. Results: 1484 articles were initially retrieved from the databases. 1328 articles did not fit the inclusion criteria. 118 duplicates were found. 38 studies were found eligible for the established criteria. 27 (71.05%) were retrospective cohorts, with low evidence level. Only 5 (13.15%) clinical trials were found eligible to the criteria. The majority of the studies (36/38) had the 2B OXFORD evidence level. A limited number of studies addressed cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. The temporal muscle atrophy or temporal hollowing seems to be the patient’s main complaint. Only 17 (44.73%) studies addressed patient satisfaction regarding the aesthetics, and only 10 (26.31%) of the studies reported the cosmetic outcome as a primary outcome. Nevertheless, minimally invasive approaches appear to overcome most cosmetic complaints and should be performed whenever possible. Conclusion: There are several variants of the classic PC. The esthetic outcomes are poorly evaluated. The majority of the studies were low evidence articles.

“…Correspondingly, scar elevation was qualitatively rated (no elevation, elevation present, or prominent elevation) in SBSES or mSBSES, scales intentionally developed for short‐ and long‐term evaluation of post‐surgical scars 46 . SBSES was already widely adopted for surgical incisions of thyroidectomy 41,42,70–72 and torso operations, 44,73 displaying some strengths on assessing large and linear surgical wounds. It has an advantage of using digital photographic images, and the interrater reliability demonstrated good agreement, ranging from 0.73 to 0.85 46 .…”

Postoperative wound healing is permanently of great concern to both surgeons and patients because pathological scars, including hypertrophic scars and keloids, profoundly affect an individual's physical and psychological well-being by causing pruritus, ulceration, pain, and contractures. Normal scar formation is an overlapping and orderly process involving hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling phases. 1 Although the pathogenesis of abnormal scar formation remains obscure, it is believed to be attributed to an

“…W ound closure techniques are important for skin and soft tissue repair after trauma and surgery, and suture is still the most widely used closure method for all wound types. [1][2][3] Suture techniques can be divided into percutaneous and subcuticular suture techniques. The percutaneous suture is a transdermal suture where the suture pierces the skin completely and the knot is on the skin surface, while the subcuticular suture is an intradermal suture where the sutures are placed under the epidermis.…”

The Origin and Development of Interrupted Subcuticular Suture: An Important Technique for Achieving Optimum Wound Closure

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BACKGROUND Subcuticular suture is an important technique for achieving optimum wound closure, and there has been no comprehensive summary of subcuticular sutures to date. OBJECTIVE To summarize the origin and development of interrupted subcuticular suture to help clinicians improve their wound closure skills. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive review of subcuticular suture techniques was conducted in PubMed to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of various methods and clinical indications. RESULTS Buried suture is the oldest subcuticular suture technique, followed by buried vertical mattress suture, intracutaneous butterfly suture, modified/variant buried vertical mattress suture, intradermal buried vertical mattress suture, buried horizontal mattress suture, wedge-section and modified buried vertical mattress suture, set-back suture, and modified buried horizontal mattress suture, which have gradually been applied in clinical practice. Buried vertical mattress suture is currently the most widely used subcuticular suture technique. CONCLUSION Patients can certainly benefit from the appropriate application of subcuticular suture. There is also no single ideal method for achieving optimal results in all cases. Fully understanding the history of subcuticular suture can help doctors improve their wound closure technique.
