[Transposition of the temporal muscle in the surgical treatment of cleft palate].
The use of the temporalis muscle flap presents a great interest for the surgical repair of cleft palate. The simplicity of the technical procedure, the absence of cosmetic and functional sequelae, and the excellent morphological results lead us to affirm its efficacy in the reconstructive surgery of the palatine region. The Authors report a clinical case and describe the surgical procedures utilized.
