Cranial Suture Anchor Temporalis Resuspension: A New Technique to Reconstruct Temporal Hollowing After Craniotomy

Conclusion: Temporal hollowing after craniotomy is a difficult contour deformity to correct. In the presented patient, reconstruction with temporalis elevation and suture anchor resuspension was found to be an effective technique with excellent cosmetic outcome. The efficiency of suture anchor placement, postoperative maintenance of muscle tension, and nonpalpable profile of the buried suture anchors suggest comparable efficacy to plate fixation and suture-only techniques.
