Abstract
Just as the pectoralic myocutaneous flap has become the flap of choice for a variety of head and neck defects within its range, the temporoparietal fascial flap (TPF flap) is remarkably dexterous to many types of tissue at distinct ear, nose, throat, and facial positions. Whether it is a soft-tissue, bony, cartilage, or combination reconstructive deficit, the TPF flap is adaptable. Furthermore, it supplies blood flow in poor healing situations such as in irradiated or infected fields—even for maxillary or mandible bony tissue.
