RESUMO

RESUMO

The anatomy of the zygomatic muscle was studied in 40 adult cadaver hemifaces in order to determine and evaluate the possibilities of its use as a local musculocutaneous flap for surgical repair. It could be observed that it is irrigated proximally through the transverse facial artery and distally through the facial artery.
