10 Temporal Artery Flaps
103
10.8 Pearls andPitfalls
Pearls
• Use Doppler to accurately mark the position of the vessels preoperatively due to the wide variation in vessel anatomy.
• Skin incision can be sloped in direction of hair fol­licles to minimise risk of alopecia.
• The undersurface of the ap is a safe zone and can be dissected very easily.
• Venous drainage often the problem therefore tries to include a posterior vein or keep the base of the ap as wide as possible.
• Take extra care during skin raise to avoid hair folli­cle damage. The use of hydro-dissection will assist this.
Pitfalls
• The ap may be more appropriate in girls with long hair as this helps to hide the scar and any alopecia. Boys with shorter hair are more likely to have more visible scarring.
• There is also a higher risk of unsatisfactory postop­erative scarring in those with fairer hair compared to darker hair.
• Scars can stretch leaving an unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome.
• There is high risk of vessel damage during ap elevation.
• There is risk of temporal branch of facial nerve injury during elevation of the anterior ap.

Flaps - Forehead Flap and Modifications
DanielB.Saleh andAlexDearden

11.1 Introduction
The rst evidenced scripture of the forehead ap was believed to be around 600BC, in India, in the ancient medi­cal treatises the Sushruta Samhita [1]. Modern translation reveals the description of the total nasal reconstruction was derived from a cheek ap but nevertheless was the rst description of a pedicled tissue transfer in contemporary reconstructive terms.
The Italian Antonio Branca brought the forehead ap to Europe in the fteenth century [2], but it was not until 1794 when J. C. Carpue read an editorial in The Gentleman’s Magazine where its journey to become the workhorse for nasal reconstruction began [3]. Following his intrigue in the novel technique, he practised on cadavers for over 20years before utilising it on two soldiers in 1814 [4].
Further renements were made, the most recent iterations of which have been popularised by Burget and Menick in the 1980s [57] by narrowing the base of the paramedian ap for greater arc of rotation and the safety of debulking the distal ap supercial to the frontalis muscle. These have largely been borne out of better anatomic understanding in conjunc­tion with the reconstructive concepts of angiosomes, delay and dermal blood supply.
11.2 Anatomy
Typically, four paired arteries supply the forehead skin:
• Angular, branching into the dorsal nasal and central
• Supratrochlear
• Supraorbital
• Supercial temporal and its terminal branches
D. B. Saleh (*) Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Royal Victoria Inrmary, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK
A. Dearden Royal Victoria Inrmary, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK
Although orientated in an axial direction, the arborising nature of these vessels makes a rich interconnecting network of vascularity orientated in the glabella and medial canthal region [8]. This has enabled the application of various aps designs and their renements over the past century to address a variety of reconstructive challenges in the facial, head and neck regions.
Mangold’s injection study demonstrated that the median and paramedian aps are positioned so that their main supply is from the supratrochlear artery with additional lling from the dorsal nasal and supraorbital arteries [9].
The supratrochlear artery is a terminal branch of the oph­thalmic artery. It exits the superior medial orbit 1.7–2.2cm lateral to the midline and continues a vertical course for approximately 3cm at the medial position of the brow [8]. It initially lies supercial to the corrugator supercilii muscle but deep to the orbicularis and frontalis at the level of the brow then traversing the frontalis to lie in the subcutaneous tissues 1cm above the brow where the option of ap debulk­ing is possible.
The paired dorsal nasal arteries usually merge after 5mm to form a single central artery supplying the glabella and inferior and middle transverse thirds of the central forehead [10]. A recent histological study [11] suggests it is the cen­tral artery to be the prominent blood supply of the medial forehead ap design challenging its nomenclature as a true axial ap of the supratrochlear artery. The central artery forehead ap is now well described in the contemporary lit­erature [12].
The frontal (anterior) branch of the supercial temporal artery enters the forehead at different transverse levels at the lateral orbital rim. Once it crosses this line, it usually divides into an ascending branch and a transverse branch of smaller diameter at this level [10]. The anterior supercial temporal artery is supercial to the temporalis muscle, and as it medi­alises it gradually becomes more supercial to a subdermal level. The average diameter of the anterior supercial tempo­ral artery is 2mm at the level of the lateral orbital rim [10]. Care must be taken to preserve the temporal branch on the facial nerve which runs anteroinferiorly to the artery with

64% predictability; thus surgical precision is paramount in this region to avoid neural injury [13].
The venous system is formed from the parallel supra­trochlear and central veins. They converge over the glabella to drain into the angular veins either side of the nose. The central vein is often larger on one side of the forehead and should also be incorporated into the ap design. Furthermore it can aid as a landmark to decide which side of the forehead to use to ensure optimal drainage.
11.3 Preoperative Investigation
Routine preoperative radiology is seldom required in plan­ning these aps unless there has been signicant surgery in the region and axial vascular supply is in question. In such circumstances computed tomography with contrast can be useful for identication of enhancing vessels along their complete course and permits cross midline comparison to correlate with previous scars.
Handheld Doppler examination with intensity of at least 8 Hz in the clinic will determine the presence of suitable vessels that can be used for ap transfer. This can be aug­mented by use of infrared thermography (see stepwise ap raising).
We have successfully transferred forehead aps in patients with supercial scars from cutaneous malignancy resection and even deep dermal/full-thickness burns. Specically, if there is axial pulsation on Doppler examination, scars can be incorporated into ap design in absolutely necessary. However one must consider a delay procedure in the rst incidence to maximise success in these rarer scenarios.

11.3.1 Flap Design andMarkings: Multistage Forehead Flap
11.3.1.1 The Multistage Paramedian
ForeheadFlap
The relative focus of this description pertains to nasal recon­struction but can be translated to an array of periocular, cheek and upper labial defects. An ipsilateral ap is better suited to treating defects on the ipsilateral nose or face if available.
The exact defect dimensions should be templated, and if this is challenging due to major distortion and secondary cicatrix, if available, the contralateral normal side should be templated as a mirror image (Fig.11.1).
The multistage forehead ap tends to offer better func­tional and cosmetic outcomes in nasal reconstruction and the opportunity to better control structural support introduced into the repair.
This is a very useful forehead ap based on the anterior or frontal division of the supercial temporal artery (STA) ap. Lei and colleagues succinctly delineated the anatomy and that whilst the ASTA is essentially constant, it can vary in being a ‘high’ or ‘low’ type [13]. This ap incurs a scar in the suprabrow, or anterior temporal region, but has the versatility to reconstruct the periorbital and cheek region. This is a myocutaneous ap to ensure reliable vas­cularity as the vessels at its medial course can be intramuscular.

1. Palpate the supratrochlear notch and place the handheld Doppler over this area in the medial brow region.
2. Follow the pulsation cranially to outline the exact path­way of the vessel (Fig. 11.1). In anaesthetised patients ensure they are normotensive. In the virgin forehead, it is not critical to do this, but it does allow much more accurate ap planning, reducing forehead wound morbid­ity and theoretically providing a more accurate wound repair.
3. Reverse plan using a gauze to ensure the correct length of ap is planned. Base your preformed template on the ves­sel axiality unless the hair pattern dictates a more lateral placement. This is less critical in cases whereby the distal ap is aimed at internal nasal lining, where hair growth is accepted (Fig.11.1).
4. The proximal limits of the skin ap width need only to be approximately 1–2cm centred over the Doppler signal; this also allows easier rotation of the ap to the defect (Fig.11.1).
5. The ap is raised in a distal to proximal (cranial to cau­dal) fashion incising the skin, subcutaneous fat and fron­talis muscle down to the periosteum. The upper two-thirds alone are incised initially. Blade dissection is preferable but monopolar cautery can also be used with low setting for the coagulation in order to protect the periosteum to permit maximal healing potential without desiccation.
6. Once this portion of the ap is raised, use the on-table Doppler to ensure the signal is present in the ap. Whilst

this is not vital, with minimal fuss, it only takes 30–40s to do and avoids the rare situation whereby anomalous anatomy is encountered.
7. Once the position of the vessel has been rechecked, the remaining skin incisions are made through the skin, and at the base of the wound, the periosteum is incised to con­tinue in the sub-periosteal plane (Fig. 11.2). An

a Jameson or littler scissors will tease the bres of the frontalis, procerus and corrugator supercilii to reveal the underlying periosteum at the medial and lateral extents of the ap edges. It is our preference to do this bluntly, because occasionally draining veins can be favourable placed in the arc of rotation for the ap; hence there is no need for ligation of these medial intramuscular veins unless they impede eventual ap transfer.
8. Once the skin and muscle dissection has reached the brow and the ap is liberated, the sub-periosteal dissection con­tinues with care around the medial supraorbital bar where the vascular pedicle can be visualised in three typical congurations (Fig.11.3):
(a) Emerging from a supraorbital notch where the ves-
sels are freely mobile with gentle caudal displacement
There is a variety of postulation, pontication and assertion regarding the need to see and mobilise the vessels in the above fashion. It is our preference to take the ap caudal to the brow to allow ease of rotation to the nasal defect. In the majority of cases, this requires one of the above manoeuvres to succeed. However, for cranial nasal defects, or eyelid/ cheek resurfacing (for a contralateral forehead ap), a well­planned ap may avoid the need for dissection that involves seeing the pedicle, and thus, the ap could be regarded as agnostic with reference to the vascular pedicle. It is also rea­sonable to state avoiding dissection around (not of) the pedi­cle reduces the risk of inadvertent injury, compromising the reconstructive efforts. In general a cut as one goes principle for locoregional reconstruction is useful when one knows there is an axial supply within the ap.

A counterargument we, and others, would highlight is that in certain circumstances (e.g. a hemi-nasal reconstruc­tion), inadequate caudal dissection and thus rotation of the ap may manifest itself as vascular (venous) kinking, also compromising the blood supply. So overall, with due care and attention, vascular visualisation, without overt pedicle dissection, is our preference.
9. The ap is now free to be transferred to the recipient site.
We like to oppose the donor wound just above the brow rst (Fig.11.6), to align the brows correctly and ensure this does not cause any unusual ap compromise. It is frustrating to recognise the brows are mal-aligned follow­ing meticulous inset of the ap at the recipient site.

11.3.5 Transverse Temporal Forehead Flaps
In keeping with the principles described above, the whole forehead (or parts of) unit can be raised in the submuscular plane for a variety of facial and intraoral defects, the latter typically being in a two-stage fashion requiring pedicle divi­sion after 3 weeks. This approach, whilst uncommon, has distinct advantages, in particular where facial salvage is paramount:
109

2. Ideally aim for direct closure—skin pinch to assess via­bility of direct closure and reverse plan the arc of the ap.
3. ‘Zig-zag’ or curvilinear incision over temporal course of the vessel, with skin aps raised in subcutaneous plane until islanded incisions are made. Or in cases where lid reconstruction does not warrant signicant pedicle mobil­isation, we recommend a medial to lateral cut as you go approach to limit incisions made. This is preferred in case remedial facial procedures are required, or in patients in cutaneous malignancy where tissue preservation is more preferable (Fig.11.7).
4. The islanded ap is then incised to include the caudal portion of the frontalis and bluntly dissect through the corrugator supercilii and orbital portions of the orbicu­laris oculi muscle to reach the areolar submuscle plane. Medially this plane is more adherent, and care must be taken to preserve the periosteum and supratrochlear/ orbital neurovascular bundles.
5. The ap can then be raised in this plane from medial to lateral. At the lateral brow region, the dissection is blunt in the muscular plane to preserve terminating branches of the frontal nerve.
1. Midfacial and lower facial defects whereby the ‘cranial’ direction of scar and contracture of the ap is favourable to support the soft tissues and prevent unfavourable downward pull as seen in similar aps from the upper chest to the lower face. Or from midfacial tissues to the lower eyelids.
2. In intraoral or facial tumour cases whereby a microsurgi­cal solution is either not possible or has been used to maximal effect, for example, a patient who has had numerous oropharyngeal resections, free tissue transfers and radiation therapy (Figs.11.8 and 11.9).
11.3.6 Core Surgical Techniques inFlap
Dissection
11.3.6.1 Staged Considerations: Nasal
Reconstruction
Prior to commencing nasal reconstruction, adjacent but con­tiguous defects in the eyelid(s), upper lip and cheek(s) must be repaired rst to provide a stable surrounding framework for the nose. In certain cases, such as skin cancer cutaneo­paths, in whom facial skin is in short supply, the forehead ap can be used for marginal medial cheek restoration at the

same time as nasal reconstruction as a compromise (Figs.11.10 and 11.11). However for the majority, it is better to restore surrounding anatomy in the rst instance, or in the same procedure as the rst nasal stage, but using alternate tissue sources (Fig.11.12).
A particular consideration is the timing of cartilage graft-
ing. In general it is our preference to:
1. Primarily place grafts where good lining already exists (Fig.11.12)
2. Secondarily place grafts in intermediate stage(s) where the forehead ap or another form of tissue is deployed for lining in preliminary/rst stages of reconstruction (Figs.11.13, 11.14, and 11.15)
C
Fig. 11.9 Wide ap arc of rotation and can be tunnelled through the nasolabial region to close intraoral defects, such as the oor of the mouth in this case
11.3.6.2 Intermediate Stages
After approximately 1 month, the ap at the recipient site can be safely elevated and thinned and allow the placement of cartilage grafts. Intermediate stages offer the excellent opportunity to sculpt soft tissue and accurately amend and augment structural support (Fig.11.16).
11.3.6.3 Final Stage
Division of the pedicle often leaves a ‘V’-shaped unit of tis­sue to interpose into the brow wound whilst making sure pre­marked brow height symmetry is retained.
11.3.6.4 Flap Delay
The rich blood supply in the forehead does permit transfer of a ap with surgical scars, particularly if the previous surgical intervention is known, for example, curettage, cryotherapy or a simple skin excision of a lesion. Deep scars to the peri­osteum or bone may have interrupted the axiality of the ap and design has to take this into account.

Where there is a good Doppler signal, but scarring (Fig.11.17), we advocate delay manoeuvres to augment the ap prior to denitive elevation.
11.3.6.5 The Single-Stage Forehead Flap
Converse [2] popularised the islanded forehead ap for nasal reconstruction, and the broad principles of safe harvest are the same. We reserve this option in patients where:
1. Dual or multistage surgery is problematic. (a) Concurrent anticoagulant therapy where there is ele-
vated risk associated with numerous episodes of stopping and starting between stages.

(d) Inability for regular visits to hospital for aftercare
and repeated surgical episodes.
2. There is a mature defect where lining can be established
with ease without the need for >1cm folding of the ap— we nd a larger requirement for lining and folding results in potential airway impedance.
3. The patient is unwilling to have pre-expansion of the
forehead in previously scarred or very low hairline situations.
The key difference is the need to island the ap at the brow by only incising the skin and bluntly separating the

Therefore delayed left paramedian forehead ap with division of super­cial temporal vessels and vessels from the right forehead
skin and subcutaneous fat to allow rotation. Once the ap is mobilised enough, this dissection can stop. Then the next consideration is to split the glabellar skin or tunnel (Figs. 11.18 and 11.19). The latter is preferable and fre­quently possible. Both result in glabellar prominence which is less so in the elderly population where skin and muscle atrophy at the radix is more common. However this is disad­vantage of this technique and patients must be counselled regarding this.
