Oro-facial defects, congenital or following a trauma or ablative surgery results in the compromise of function, form and aesthetic along with psychological suffering. The temporal region is an excellent donor site due its rich vascular supply and availability of diverse tissues-skin, fascia, muscle, galea, calvarial bone and pericranium. The Superficial temporal artery based flap is resourceful axial prototype flap used primarily in the reconstruction of midface, orbit, periorbit and palatal defects. The proximity of the flap to the defects allows harvesting the fascia or muscle or skin or as a composite tissue flaps depending upon the requirement of the case. This paper aims at highlighting the utility of the temporoparietal fascial flap in our case series of Oro-facial defects.
