RESUMO
El colgajo de fascia temporal superficial es muy versátil para la reconstrucción de defectos tisulares localizados en los tercios superior y medio de la cara, en la región orbito-palpebral, en la cavidad oral, en la base del cráneo y a nivel mandibular. En nuestra experiencia, constituye una opción segura para reconstrucciones complejas de cavidades. En el presente artículo los autores exponen el caso de una paciente en quien se reconstruyó un defecto de órbita con un colgajo de fascia temporal superficial prelaminado
The superficial temporal fascia flap is versatile for the reconstruction of tissue defects located in the upper and middle thirds of the face, in the orbital-palpebral region, in the oral cavity, at the base of the skull and at the mandibular level. In our experience, it is a safe option for complex cavity reconstructions. In this article the authors present the case of a patient in whom an orbit defect was reconstructed with a pre-laminated superficial temporal fascia flap

Objective@#To explore the clinical application effects of portable visual retractor in superficial temporal fascia flap harvesting.@*Methods@#From January 2010 to June 2019, 27 patients meeting the inclusion criteria and planning to perform operation of superficial temporal fascia flap harvesting were admitted to the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the First Clinical Medical Center of the People′s Liberation Army General Hospital. The patients were divided into traditional surgical method group [6 males and 3 females, aged (34±14) years], cold light source retractor group [6 males and 4 females, aged (35±16) years], and portable visual retractor group [7 males and 1 female, aged (30±14) years] according to way of superficial temporal fascia flap harvesting. The superficial temporal fascia flaps of patients in traditional surgical method group were resected by traditional way of resection, and the superficial temporal fascia flaps of patients in cold light source retractor group and portable visual retractor group were resected at assistance of cold light source retractor and portable visual retractor, respectively. Length of incision, operation time, intraoperative blood loss volume, postoperative drainage volume, and postoperative complication of patients in 3 groups were observed and recorded. Data were processed with Fisher′s exact probability test, one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Bonferroni correction.@*Results@#The length of incision of patients in visual retractor group was (3.6±0.8) cm, significantly shorter than (12.6±1.6) cm in traditional surgical method group and (5.8±0.9) cm in cold light source retractor group (P<0.05). The incision length of patients in traditional surgical method group was significantly longer than that in cold light source retractor group (P<0.05). The operation time of patients in visual retractor group was 24.0 (23.3, 25.8) min, significantly shorter than 35.0 (30.5, 36.5) min in traditional surgical method group and 28.5 (26.8, 30.5) min in cold light source retractor group (H=16.5, 9.8, P<0.05). The operation time of patients in traditional surgical method group was significantly longer than that in cold light source retractor group (H=6.6, P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss volume was (26±3) mL of patients in visual retractor group, significantly less than (34±4) mL in traditional surgical method group and (30±6) mL in cold light source retractor group (P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss volume of patients in traditional surgical method group was significantly more than that in cold light source retractor group (P<0.05). The postoperative drainage volumes of patients in visual retractor group, cold light source retractor group, and traditional surgical method group were (33±4), (34±6), and (31±7) mL, respectively, and there were no significantly statistical differences in postoperative drainage volumes among patients in the three groups (F=0.3, P>0.05). There were no severe complications such as ischemia and necrosis of superficial temporal fascia flaps in patients of the three groups. One patient in cold light source retractor group had subcutaneous hematoma after operation, which was improved by removing stitches and hematoma.@*Conclusions@#Superficial temporal fascia flap harvesting at the assistance of portable visual retractor has the advantages of clear visual field, simple operation, short operation time, small incision, and less intraoperative blood loss.
RESUMO
Objective@#To explore the application and effect of superficial temporal fascia flap combined with avulsion auricular tissue in emergency auricular restoration.@*Methods@#From June 2015 to December 2015, 6 patients with auricular large area complete avulsion were underwent treatment in Department of Plastic Surgery of General Hospital of Shenyang Military. After thorough debridement, the auricular cartilage scaffold of the avlusion ear and skin was completely stripped. The auricular cartilage was repositioned on its anatomical site and subsequently covered by superficial temporal fascia flap. The free skin was stripped as full-thickness graft to cover the surface of reconstructed ear.@*Results@#All 6 patients with auricle large area complete avulsion achieved immediate repair under emergency condition. The operations were successfully completed and the ears were healed primarily. The patients were followed-up for one year. Five patients with partial auricular avulsion achieved obvious reconstructed auricle profile. The color of reconstructed ear was close to the surrounding skin and the cranioauricular angle was nearly normal. Patients and their families were very satisfied. One patient of total auricular reconstruction had auricular contracture. The auricle profile was not obvious with small size, morphological changes and external auditory canal stenosis.@*Conclusions@#Avulsion auricle and temporal superficial fascia flap can be used to repair partial auricle defects as a first-stage repair with ideal results. It is the best choice for large auricle defects in emergency cases.
RESUMO
Superficial temporal fascia,which has various names,such as temporal fascia,temporoparietal fascia,epicranial aponeurosis and galeal extension,has been used to define the fascial layers of the temporal region.All these different names reflect an anatomical feature of the related fascia.This region exists superficial temporal vessels,the temporal branch of the facial nerve and the auriculotemporal nerve,so is very important in otoplasty.This paper reviews the progress of superficial temporal fascia application in otoplasty.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effect of superficial temporal fascia flap for the reconstruction of temporal depression. Methods According to the degree of temporal depression, we applied folded superficial temporal fascia to reconstruct the temporal depression, combined with forehead and orbital subperiosteal facelift. Results Postoperative follow-up for 1~2 years showed that the method used in subperiosteal facelift combined with temporal depression, maintained a satisfactory long-term full contour. And it improved the facial contour.Conclusions Application of superficial temporal fascia flap in reconstructing the temporal depression combined with facelift for one-stage is a good method. It can get the purposes of tightening the skin and improving the facial contour together. Good results are achieved.
