Abstract

The coronal approach, also known as bi-temporal approach, is one of the most versatile surgical approaches to the zygomatic arch and the mid-facial skeleton. Excellent access is gained to the mid-face by this approach, and it also has a very less number of complications. It is esthetically also excellent, because most of the surgical scar is hidden within the hairline. When the incision is extended into the preauricular area, the surgical scar is inconspicuous. In this article, we attempt to describe the approach, and present our own experience in using it at our centre.
