title: [Transposition of the temporal muscle and surgery of the middle third of the face. Technic, indications and results].
abstract: The authors reemploy the technique using the temporal muscle to fill in large surgical cavities after tumoral surgery of the middle 1/3 of the face. The purpose of this technique is to prevent crust formation after radiotherapy, and to improve esthetic results by preventing further cutaneous retraction. They expose their own technique, the results and the indications from 8 cases.
