Linear scalp incision is commonly used in neurosurgical practice; a systematic study elucidating its pros and cons in a specific surgical setting is lacking. The scalp also contains hair follicles related to skin lines, giving the scalp a different position from other skin parts. The main problems seen with the skin flaps were the blood supply compromise and, therefore, wound healing. But they are good at accessing and providing adequate surgical fields. Linear scalp incisions have very great safety and efficacy in different types of craniotomies. Disadvantages of linear incision have also been mentioned in the literature; one of the ones mentioned in the literature is that linear incision has a large bad scar.
