“…However, to perform the operation, the superficial temporal artery providing blood supply was dissected in addition to the scalp flap of the donor area, leaving a long surgical incision. Thus, this approach inevitably sacrifices a critical scalp blood vessel 2,7,8 …”

“…Due to the lack of blood supply, the transplantation of free scalp flap often leads to the necrosis of the transplanted scalp and has a low success rate 2 . Among the various surgical methods of eyebrow reconstruction using the scalp flap method, the island skin flap with superficial temporal artery as vessel pedestal has a reliable blood supply and is easy to be transferred to the recipient area through a subcutaneous tunnel 7 .…”

the mandibular branch with narrowing of the space between the mandibular angles. A clinical indicator of the severity of ankylosis is the interincisal opening; when the opening is less than 5 mm it is named as a complete ankylosis. 7,6 According to Kaban et al,8 the TMJ ankylosis control protocol should follow the following steps: 1) aggressive resection, 2) ipsilateral coronoidectomy, 3) contralateral coronoidectomy when necessary, 4) ATM lining with temporal flap, 5) ramus reconstruction with costochondral graft, 6) rigid fixation, and 7) early mobilization and aggressive physiotherapy is recommended. In our case report, we opted for aggressive resection of the affected mandibular condyle to remove the ankylotic mass and ipsilateral coronoidectomy concomitant to the technique of mandibular ramus sliding on the affected side for mandibular reconstruction and sagittal osteotomy on the contralateral side to restore occlusion and for correction of dentofacial deformity associated with physiotherapy in the postoperative period.Vertical osteotomy of the mandibular ramus is indicated for correction of mandibular prognathism, facial asymmetry, osteogenic distraction of the mandible, and for posttraumatic reconstruction. Animal and clinical model studies have shown that this technique can be used as a good alternative to reconstruct a condyle with satisfactory TMJ function. 9 The advantages are that, firstly, in contrast to grafts (eg, costochondral and cranial bones), the use of the posterior mandible edge as a pedicled graft can be performed safely and easily, avoiding complications associated with the local donor. In addition, the posterior ramus border is attached to the medial pterygoid muscle, which can provide sufficient blood to prevent bone resorption/necrosis, resulting in less bone resorption, lower mandibular ramus height decrease, and mouth opening deviation and better clinical outcomes in the long term. 9,10 There are many reported surgical procedures and protocols accepted with the use of various grafts, such as chondroosseous grafts and alloplastic prosthesis for TMJ reconstruction purposes, but there is no standard concept for ankylosis treatment of TMJ. The general agreement is that patient cooperation, early surgical intervention, and postoperative physiotherapy are the most important aspects for good long-term outcomes. 1 A variety of surgical flaps have been described for exposing TMJ through a preauricular approach with temporal extensions associated with the use of retromandibular approach, if necessary, to access the mandibular ramus. The most common surgical approach for the treatment of this condition is the preauricular and the modified preauricular. 10 Sufficient exposure requires a flap that can be extended to the size and extent of the ankylotic mass. A modified type of access for temporal extension rhytidectomy and endaural was performed in this case report, allowing to access both the TMJ and the mandibular ramus. This approach hides the neck line incision and eliminates the scar from...

Traumatic laceration caused by animal bite on face carries disfigurement effect and psychological trauma to patient. Dog and cat bites being more common in children may involve periocular structure. Eyebrows being one of the five aesthetic subunits of forehead and playing a key role in facial expression, needs due focus while correcting such injuries. This article is aimed at presenting considerations regarding eyebrow reconstruction, exemplified by a case report.

“…The aim should not only be to restore the continuity of the eyebrow, but also to make it is as symmetrical as possible with the contralateral side. Numerous approaches have been described for this, including local flaps and transplantation of hairy scalp [3][4][5]. When choosing a reconstruction technique, the size and the position of the defect in relation to the remaining part of the eyebrow are decisive.…”
