PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: 10 cm complex stellate laceration of the forehead with partial
skin avulsion in three places of the forehead.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
OPERATION: Debridement of stellate laceration of the forehead with complex wound repair
involving the frontalis muscle, subcutaneous tissue and the skin margin.
SURGEON: DR. ROBERT V~)LF -
ASSISTANT:
DATE: 9/13/2002
ANESTHESIA:
INDICATIONS: This 17-year-old white female was involved in a motor vehicle accident and
presented with a 10 cm complex stellate laceration in the midportion of the forehead above the
right eyebrow. This laceration extended down to the frontalis muscle to the periosteum of the
frontal bone. Photographs were taken prior to any surgical repair. The wound was anesthetized
and then cleansed with Betadine and saline. The necrotic wound edges were d~brided and skin
margins were fabricated to allow approximate reclosure. At first, the underlying frontalis muscle
was repaired using interrupted stitches of #6-0 nylon suture. Once the frontalis muscle was
reapproximated, the underlying subcutaneous tissues were reapproximated using interrupted
stitches of #6-0 nylon suture and the skin margins were then adequately reapproximated using
interrupted stitches of #6-0 nylon suture. The entire repair was performed under Ioupe
magnification. There were three areas of skin avulsion which were reapproximated to the best of
my ability at this time. She was instructed to apply Bacitracin ointment to these sutures and
avulsed areas two times a day and to follow-up in my office in one week following the treatment.
She tolerated the procedure without difficulty. She was released to home that evening.
