The temporoparietal fascia flap

Abstract: Owing to its reliability and unequalled structural properties, the TPFF still plays a central role in facial reconstruction. Future investigation will likely incorporate the free TPFF as a vascular carrier of bioengineered tissues, such as cartilage and mucosa, for various head and neck indications.

“…As a free flap it can cover defects whenever a very thin layer of tissue is needed. The long pedicle and the low donor site complications as well as the inconspicuous scar are the main advantages of this flap [1,2]. These characteristics result in a good functional and aesthetic outcome especially when the defect is located at the hand.…”

“…The TPFF is used for reconstruction of defects in the oral cavity, orbit, auricle, and cranial base. 1 For bony defects, the underlying calvarium can be harvested with the TPFF to make a composite osteo-TPFF (OTPFF). The relatively thin but bony consistency of this flap aids in the restoration of a viable skeletal framework in poor recipient sites.…”

“…During the incision, an injury to the temporal branch of the facial nerve should be avoided as well. At the level of the zygomatic arch, the temporal branch gives off 2-4 rami cations that run underneath the TPF, 12-14 mm anteriorly to the articular eminence of the zygoma [7,8]. The anterior scalp ap is elevated through the meticulous sharp dissection in the subdermal plane.…”
