Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore a simply, effective dynamical method to correct late facial palsy.
METHODSThe method of suspending of M. temporalis, temporal fascia was reformed below: (1) To prolong flap of M. temporalis, temporal fascia by parietal periosteum. (2) To elevate the reversal level of compound flap. (3) To fill depressed temporal area by silica gel piece.
RESULTSThe compound flap is united structurally and long enough to transfer. Temporal defect is recontoured. And zygomatic area is no longer protruded.
CONCLUSIONSThe reformative method resists defect of the old one and obtains a dynamical result.
