Abstract:
Abstract: The authors present a modified technique of temporalis muscle transposition technique in cases of longstanding facial paralysis. Slips of the temporalis fascia were passed through the tunnels to reach the contralateral para-median plane. The procedure provides 2 point of fixation to the transferred muscle. Local flaps were used for temporal hollow obliteration and for temporalis muscle elongation. This case series included 11 patients. The modified technique was performed for all patients to reanimate the lower face while gold weight impanation in the upper eye lid was used for reanimation of the eye in 9 patients. By the end of follow up, the procedure was considered successful in 9 patients. Eight patients expressed their satisfaction and 7 patients were happy with the regained facial movement. The modified temporalis muscle transfer technique might be a valuable option in cases of longstanding facial paralysis. The lips would be camouflaged, non-stretched and would move with the whole mid-face.
