Frontal craniotomy
Frontal craniotomy (unilateral or bilateral): see Bifrontal craniotomy.
Indications
Technique
Unilateral approach uses an incision starting less than 1 cm anterior to the tragus and just above the zygomatic arch, curves superiorly and posteriorly, and ends at the midline frontally
Bilateral approach uses an ear-to-ear incision (also known as a bicoronal skin incision) that is also less than 1 cm anterior to the tragus and terminates on each side just above the zygomatic arches while remaining behind the hairline.
