Reconstruction of midface defect with temporalis myofascial pedicle flap: a review and case series

Abstract

Temporalis Myofascial pedicle flap is used for mid face defects, a good alternative to free flaps for contemporary surgeons. We present a case series of 7 patients with defects following ablative surgery secondary to oral squamous cell carcinoma. The flap was used to reconstruct the defect of the orbit, buccal mucosa and palate.
