[The temporal muscle flap. Its use in transmaxillary oro-pharyngectomy].
Results are reported of the use of four temporal muscle flaps for reconstruction of the floor of mouth and the velo-amygdalo-palatine region after transmaxillary buccopharyngectomy for malignant tumor. The good vascularization of the temporal flap ensured very satisfactory immediate and long term results.
