Abstract:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Temporalis muscle management remains one of the most challenging aspects of cranioplasty, which accounts for considerable rates of dissection-related complications. Since 2019, the senior author has developed and consistently used a methodical, two-stage anatomic dissection technique to separate the scalp and temporalis muscle from the underlying brain. This technique is believed to facilitate dissection and minimize the risk of brain injury, while optimizing cosmetic out… Show more
