Once asepsis and antisepsis of pre-auricular area were achieved Figure 3, pre-auricular approach was undertaken, incising skin and subcutaneous cellular tissue, until reaching the temporalis superficial fascia. Palpation was performed on the zygomatic arch, an incision was then executed at 45° with respect to the arch, to free the temporal-frontal ramus from the facial nerve Figure 4. Careful dissection of the superficial fascia and capsule was undertaken, until uncovering the glenoid cavity, articular eminence and one third of the zygomatic arch Figure 5.
Una vez hecha la asepsia y antisepsia de la zona preauricular Figura 3, se realiza abordaje preuricular, incidiendo piel y tejido celular subcutáneo hasta alcanzar la fascia superficial del temporal, palpando el arco cigomático, se realiza una incisión a 45° con respecto a este para liberar la rama temporofrontal del nervio facial Figura 4, se realiza disección cuidadosa de la fascia superficial del temporal y de la cápsula hasta descubrir la cavidad glenoidea, la eminencia articular y el 1/3 posterior del arco cigomático Figura 5.
