title: Neck hairline incision for simultaneous harvesting of temporal and mastoid fasciae: a technical note.
abstract: Fasciae are known reservoirs of ideal graft material. The temporalis and mastoid fasciae are 2 of the most important graft reservoirs used by plastic surgeons, otolaryngologists, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The temporalis fascia is harvested predominantly by plastic surgeons, whereas otolaryngologists often prefer the mastoid fascia. In either case, graft harvesting might be accompanied by donor-site complications, such as hair loss, bleeding, hematoma, and scar formation, which can limit its application. To gain access to the temporal and mastoid fasciae simultaneously, the authors combined conventional techniques to develop a modified single-approach incision line that would minimize most donor-site complications.
