The temporoparietal fascial flap is a recognized technique for the transfer of vascularized tissue in the craniofacial region. The flap has a predictable axial vessel, provides thin vascularized tissue, and can be harvested with minimal donor-site morbidity. The temporoparietal fascial flap is well suited for orbital or eyelid reconstruction because of its proximity to the orbit. The flap is useful for reconstruction of anatomic barriers between the orbit, intracranial cavity, and paranasal sinus spaces. We present four patients in whom the temporoparietal fascial flap was used for orbital reconstruction following extirpative surgery for orbital neoplasm and two patients in whom the flap was used for lower eyelid and malar reconstruction.
