The Temporalis Muscle Flap in Maxillofacial Reconstruction
M. El-Sheikh, MBBCh, FRCS, BDS*, I. Zeitoun, MBBCh, MS, BDS, PhD,*
The temporalis muscle flap is a very versatile and valuable axial flap, which could be used in various reconstructive procedures in and around the oro-maxillofacial region. The surgical anatomy, vascular pattern and technique of elevation of the flap are described, together with our experience in different reconstructive situations.
The advantages and disadvantages of the use of this flap are thoroughly discussed taking into consideration the potentiality of cancer recurrence under cover of the flap.
