Re: Gillies temporal incision: an alternative approach to biopsy of the superficial temporal artery

We read with interest the paper by Markose and Graham in which they proposed a modified Gillies approach for biopsy of the superficial temporal artery.1 They argued that a conventional preauricular approach creates an unsightly scar, decreases the yield of the biopsy to a shorter segment of the artery (with the risk of sampling an unaffected portion), and increases the risk of iatrogenic injury to the facial nerve.
