Abstract
Background: Temporoparietal flap (TPF) is recommended when thin delicate tissue for medium sized defect is needed. The most used form of this flap is for auricle reconstruction. In this article usage of this flap for facial reconstruction other than auricle is discussed, emphasing on donor site morbidity.
Method: In this retrospective study, archived files of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran were evaluated from 2016-2020. Patients whom TPF was used for facial reconstruction were included. Flap survival was checked and donor site morbidity was evaluated in the form of skin scar and frontal nerve branch injury.
Results: This flap was used in 8 patients for facial reconstruction. All the cases had experienced Alopecia and this was the greatest when the skin of scalp was also included. All of the patients could elevate the eyebrow that means intact frontal branch of facial nerve.
Conclusion: TPF is a versatile flap for facial reconstruction. However, alopecia is high in composite fasciocutaneous form of this flap.
