The temporoparietal fascia can serve as a donor tissue for reconstructive surgery.It affords reliable flaps with good blood supply when the tissues of the region are intact (however, prior lesions to the region may compromise the blood supply of the tissues; creating flaps from such compromised tissue is contraindicated due to a risk of subsequent ischaemic necrosis of the flap).
In most areas, a distinct plane can be defined deep to the SMAS (continuous with that formed between the platysma and underlying investing layer of deep cervical fascia). [ 3 ] Superiorly, the SMAS extends to the galea aponeurotica of [ citation needed ] the scalp, [ 2 ] : 438 becoming continuous with temporoparietal fascia [ 1 ] [ 1 ] (at the ...
The temporal branch of the facial nerve is typically found between the temporoparietal fascia (i.e., superficial temporal fascia) and temporal fascia (i.e., deep temporal fascia). This layer is also known as the innominate fascia. There are several methods using anatomic landmarks that may be used to find the temporal branch of the facial nerve.
Eminectomy is a surgical procedure that reduces the articular eminence to correct chronic dislocation or closed lock of the mandible. The temporoparietal fascia, which is the most superficial fascia layer beneath the subcutaneous fat, is the galea's lateral extension and is continuous with the superficial musculoaponeurotic layer (SMAS).
Flap surgery is a technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery where tissue with an intact blood supply is lifted from a donor site and moved to a recipient site. Flaps are distinct from grafts , which do not have an intact blood supply and relies on the growth of new blood vessels.
The flap is incised and elevated over the periosteum from distal to proximal. [1] The flap consists of skin, subcutaneous tissue, fat and frontalis muscle and is not thinned. When reaching the brow, all of the skin borders are incised and the flap is carefully released. [1] The full-thickness flap is then sutured into the defect without tension.

Perforator flap surgery is a technique used in reconstructive surgery where skin and/or subcutaneous fat are removed from a distant or adjacent part of the body to reconstruct the excised part. [1] The vessels that supply blood to the flap are isolated perforator(s) derived from a deep vascular system through the underlying muscle or ...
