  • Title: Temporalis muscle transfer: a vascular bed for autogenous dermis-fat orbital implantation.
    Author: Bosniak S, Sachs M, Smith B.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1985 Feb; 92(2):292-6. PubMed ID: 3982807.
    Abstract:
    Nine patients with contracted avascular sockets who were unable to wear prostheses, and whose prospects for maintaining viable autogenous dermis-fat grafts were diminished, underwent temporalis muscle transfer into the orbit through a window in the lateral orbital wall. The temporalis transposition was used as a vascular bed for dermis-fat orbital implantation. Postoperatively, seven of nine patients were able to wear satisfactory prostheses and four of nine patients had amelioration of their superior sulcus deformities.
