Temporal Vessels: An Established Recipient Site for Maxillofacial Microvascular Reconstruction? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Reported Outcomes

Superficial temporal vessels demonstrate reliable outcomes with complication rates comparable to cervical vessels. Their use may reduce surgical morbidity and should be considered a viable primary recipient option in complex head and neck reconstructions.
