  • Title: A new fascial flap for use in craniofacial surgery.
    Author: Avelar JM.
    Journal: Ann Acad Med Singap; 1983 Apr; 12(2 Suppl):382-7. PubMed ID: 6625524.
    Abstract:
    A galea fascial flap is described based on the superficial temporal and posterior auricular vessels. This has been used by the author in 14 cases of craniofacial abnormalities including 3 cases of Treacher Collins Syndrome. The galea flap can be used for soft tissue augmentation of the face and also for protection of bone grafts. The technique of raising the galea flap is described in detail and its use in cases of craniofacial defects are illustrated.
