The Souttar skin incision is used in both neurosurgery and oral and maxillofacial surgery and is performed, for example, to carry out a bifrontal craniotomy.

Procedure

The Souttar skin incision is made bicoronally from Tragus to tragus and allows generous exposure of the Frontal bone and access to the anterior cranial fossa[^1].
