Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Lipomas are benign tumors and, therefore, a surgical technique that does not leave a visible scar would be an ideal method. A forehead lipoma can be extracted using a small remote incision with endoscopic assistance for aesthetic purposes. However, endoscope-assisted surgery is usually technically demanding, time-consuming, and less cost-effective. In this report, we propose an alternative approach to the surgical resection of a forehead lipoma with a small remote incision. Our method uses a surgical raspatory. Our technique allows the complete removal of the lipoma with no complications using a raspatory passed down a subcutaneous tunnel from an incision placed in an aesthetically advantageous site. |
