ABSTRACT
The temporoparietal fascia (TPF) is a robust and distinct layer between the deep temporal fascia and the subcutaneous fat in the temporal region. The TPF is richly vascularized by superficial temporal vessels. Besides, its thin and pliable characteristics with secluded incision and minimal donor site morbidity provide a good option for the plastic and reconstructive surgeons. Recently, the TPF flap was employed to treat some rare diseases such as the laryngotracheal stenosis and pharyngocutaneous fistula. This article extensively reviewed relevant researches on the application of the fascial flaps in recent years.
