neurovascular bundles

Normal neurovascular bundles are not present in the distal parts .

The excision of the cords and fascia has to be very precise to spare the neurovascular bundles.

At the base of the proximal phalanx it is important to work very careful because of the neurovascular bundles.

Also, the deeper nevus cells can be found along with neurovascular bundles, with both surrounding hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and subcutaneous fat.

In addition to its subcutaneous presence, this type of fascia surrounds organs and glands, neurovascular bundles, and is found at many other locations where it fills otherwise unoccupied space.

As arteries do not travel within the superficial fascia (loose connective tissue under the skin), superficial neurovascular bundles differ from deep neurovascular bundles in both composition and function.

To avoid a noticeable contour deformity in the area of the brows, fat harvested from a separate site (lower abdomen or buccal fat pad) is used to fill in the defect and act as a barrier to scar formation around the skeletonized neurovascular bundles.
