The reversed-flow temporoparietal fascial flap.
A patient is reported whose forehead soft-tissue defect was reconstructed by a reversed-flow temporoparietal fascial flap. This procedure can shorten the operating time. The blood circulation of the flap is satisfactory. The only drawback is the resulting scar of the skin-grafted area.
