Temporoparietal fascia flap in intra-oral reconstruction without split thickness skin graft cover: a case report.
[oral submucous fibrosis]
The
temporoparietal
fascia
flap
with
its
long
rotational
axis
and
extensive
mobilisation
properties
,
can
provide
vascularised
tissue
to
repair
the
most
distant
areas
in
the
orofacial
region
.
The
donor
site
morbidity
is
minimal
with
a
well-concealed
scar
hidden
in
the
hair
-bearing
scalp
.
However
,
the
temporoparietal
fascia
flap
is
usually
used
together
with
a
split
thickness
skin
graft
.
This
leads
to
one
more
donor
site
causing
increased
morbidity
.
In
this
case
temporoparietal
fascia
flap
was
used
for
an
intra-
oral
reconstruction
in
a
case
of
oral
submucous
fibrosis
,
without
a
split
thickness
skin
graft
cover
.
The
healing
was
excellent
and
the
flap
provided
a
good
surface
for
remucosalisation
.
