Deep Temporal Muscle Pedicled Flap: A Novel Reconstruction Technique Following Transorbital Approach, Anatomic Study, and Surgical Implications
With an appropriate temporal bony window and sufficient exposure, it is feasible to endoscopically prepare a rotation flap from the anterior third of the temporalis muscle, minimizing the need for resecting the lateral orbital margin. This approach is a favorable alternative to traditional reconstruction techniques, offering quick setup in a single operative procedure. Future studies are needed to confirm minimal donor site morbidity regarding masticatory function.
