Temporalis Myofascial Flap for Primary Cranial Base Reconstruction after Tumor Resection

“…The condition was reversed in 80% of them by using jaw stretching exercises. In a series of 26 patients reported by Colmenero and others, 21 restricted mouth opening occurred in 11.5%. The relatively higher incidence in our series might have been due to the extensive nature of the surgical procedures employed.…”

Efficacy of Temporalis Myofascial Flap in Maxillofacial Reconstruction

“…9 Only one patient out of 26 had complete flap necrosis in Colmenero study. 10 In Hoyo study there was no partial or total flap necrosis in 38 cases 7 . In the present study complete flap take occurred in 84% of the cases after complete follow up and only 6% showed partial flap take and it was due to the marginal necrosis of the flap.…”

Management of oral submucous fibrosis by different surgical approaches: report of three cases

“…‘Case 3’ was treated with temporalis muscle graft with good results achieved by 6 months. Colmenero et al 9 in their study of 26 patients, found total necrosis of the flap only in one patient, however perfect adaptation to the recipient site was achieved in all patients. In their study, patients showed reduction in oral aperture, which according to them, was due to the development of fibrosis in the retromolar area, that prevented normal mouth opening.…”
