Example Sentences:

(2) Deep to the galea, the subaponeurotic connective tissue was bilaminar.
(3) However, the use of onlay grafts coupled with soft-tissue shifts of galea and muscle enable the craniofacial surgeon to achieve superior results over those of surgeons primarily concerned with jaw- or tooth-related movements that do not utilize primary bone grafting as a method of augmentation.
(4) In addition, the use of vascularized tissue such as the galea, temporalis fascia, temporalis muscle, or free vascularized tissue transfer has prevented the complication of infection so frequently seen as a cause for morbidity and mortality in the past.

(7) We feel that vascularized outer-table calvarial flaps can safely be pedicled using only the temporal aponeurosis, innominate fascia, and periosteum without including the galea or temporal muscle.
(8) These children, aged 2 to 9 years, underwent 31 general anesthesias and complex reconstructive procedures, including latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous pedunculated and free flaps, cranial flaps with galea, cranial bone and skin grafts, and retroauricular temporal skin flaps.
(9) The concept is to remove, in serial stages, segments of skin that measure about 3 cm by 7 to 10 cm from the bald area of an alopecic scalp, and to raise the remaining hairy portion into the previously bald area.The technique consists of undermining the skin in the normal plane of cleavage between the galea and the sub-aponeurotic loose connective tissue after each removal of bald skin and "lifting" of hairy skin into the operative defects as they are obliterated by primary closure.
(10) The inflammatory process caused extensive necrotizing fibrosis (up to 2.5 cm thick) of the entire undersurface of the scalp and involved both the galea aponeurotica and the periosteum.
(11) Special attention was directed to the layer of "loose connective tissue" that lies beneath the entire galea and above the cranial periosteum centrally, and the temporalis fascia laterally.
(12) Rib or iliac crest grafts, acrylic implants, and temporalis muscle-galea flaps are useful in correcting the deformity and restoring appropriate function.
(13) In a retrospective review of 246 skin lipomas from our own files, we found 20 lipomas of the forehead (8 per cent), and among these 12 were located beneath the galea, between the frontal muscle and the periosteum.
(14) The surgical technic was accomplished according to the procedure devised by Dietz and consisted of plastics of the anterior floor of the skull accompanied by galea-periosteal junction taken out from the scalp.
(15) We feel the correct treatment is excision deep to galea, with a one to two cm margin of normal scalp.
(16) Such flaps include the gliding tissue between latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior based on the thoracodorsal artery, the galea flap on the superficial temporal and the forearm septo-fascial flap on the radial.
(17) After studying the integrality of the walls of the orbits with CT, the presence and position of the intraorbital implant must be controlled and the enophthalmos treated by compensating for the residual volume loss of the orbital content (bone or biomaterials) and, sometimes, filling up the upper palpebral space (dermal graft, galea flaps or biomaterials).
(18) It had reached the occiput and led to destruction of the bone surrounding its distal end, so that air could be found directly under the galea.
(19) The cranial base was reconstructed with madreporic coral grafts; then a large extra-dural pediculated galea flap was placed onto the anterior base to line the sub-frontal dura.
