... lines above the temporoparietal fascia (TPF) for hydrodissection (dissection by physiological saline). It is important to administer the solution just under the skin because the needle can easily penetrate the layer and get below the TPF. We administer physiological saline subcutaneously to the skin...

... the buttress for auricular elevation. A method for elevating the temporal fascia flap (TPF) to cover the buttress cartilage for skin grafting over it [ 2 ], and a method for elevation of a fascia flap posterior to the reconstructed auricle to cover the buttress cartilage [ 3 ] have also been reported. We...

... to this, the temporal parietal fascia or aponeurosis, which lies directly beneath the subcutaneous connecting tissue of the hair-bearing skin of the head, is reliably supplied by the superficial temporal artery (the temporal parietal flap, TPF). Because of this good vascularization, the TPF flap has come to be regarded...

... in diameter at the opening. Create a temporal fascia (TPF) flap and a deep-innominate temporal fascia flap (DTF flap) from the skin under the temporal region. Harvest full-thickness skin from the inguinal region or split-thickness skin from the scalp with Padgett to create a skin tube for later construction...

...%). While the addition of chemotherapy to radiotherapy showed a trend towards a lower incidence of distant metastases in the RTOG 91-11, dataset [ 45 ], the GORTEC 2001-01 trial [ 79 ] suggested TPF may lead to lower incidence of failure at local (19 vs. 24%), regional (15 vs. 20%) and distant (12 vs.16...

... with TPF with favorable circulation, and special care should be taken with the tie-over dressing. When dermal necrosis is observed, initially treat it with prostaglandin ointment. If a skin defect subsequently develops and the cartilage is exposed, fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a very effective...

.... In the forehead, the superficial fascia is termed the galea aponeurosis, while in the temple, it is called the temporoparietal fascia (TPF). Below the zygomatic arch, layer III is termed the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), while in the neck, the superficial fascia is the connective tissue enveloping...

... periosteum flap and TPF flap to completely cover the osseous EAC wall to maintain the blood circulation of the skin of the reconstructed EAC. After that, we create the skin tube of the EAC with split-thickness skin grafts from the scalp to prevent postoperative hair growth on the skin of the reconstructed...

... in various head and neck reconstructive procedures and its anatomy is well described. This section will describe the use of the TPFF in endoscopic skull base reconstruction [ 9 ]. This flap is utilized when no viable endonasal options are available for reconstruction. The temporoparietal fascia (TPF...

..., as appropriate, until the donor site is epithelialized. The J-VAC drain tube is removed from the donor site of the TPF a few days postoperatively, after confirming there is minimal drainage [ 1 ]. Fig. 4 Postoperative treatment for constructed auricle elevation. An occlusive moist dressing is applied...
