Abstract

The continued use of the temporalis muscle flap in maxillofacial surgery for over a century serves as a testament to its versatility and reliability. The technical ease of its procurement and the amount and quality of tissue available make this flap a valuable tool in the armamentarium of the reconstructive surgeon.
