[Superficial temporal fascia pedicle flap. Applications in cervicofacial surgery. Apropos of 20 cases].
The superficial temporal fascia is formed by a fine fibro-muscular layer situated between the subcutaneous plane of the temporal region and the temporal muscle aponeurosis. The superficial temporal artery and its branches run within the fascia which acts as a veritable vessel carrying sheet. The therefore useful in that in minimises esthetic and functional complications at the donor site. This reliable, polyvalent arterialised aponeurotic type flap behaves above all as a covering or interpositional flap. Our clinical experience involves 20 cases, in addition to the applications already published: covering material in cases of loss of facial substance, otopoiesis, organisation of open techniques, we propose its use during oro-bucco-pharyngoplasty and for sealing the base of the skull.
