Reconstruction of large facial defects is quite a challenging and difficult task. Various surgical options are available, each with its challenges and complications. Galeo-pericranial flap has provided a suitable technique for reconstruction of radical parotidectomy defects with satisfactory outcomes. A 50-year-old farmer with a histologically diagnosed mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the right parotid gland of 15 years duration had radical parotidectomy and reconstruction of the defect with galeo-pericranial flap. The patient was followed up for 2 years, and the flap was completely taken with no donor site morbidity.

Oral cavity defects occur after resection of lesions limited to the mucosa, alveolar gum, or minimally affecting the bone. Aiming at esthetical and functional improvements of intraoral reconstruction, the possibility of harvesting a new galeo-pericranial free flap was explored. The objective of this study was to assess the technical feasibility of flap harvesting through anatomical dissections and surgical procedure simulations.

Head and neck reconstructive surgeons have recently explored new perspectives in bone restoration using periosteum carrier flaps. Following this idea, we explored the possibility of harvesting a galeo-pericranial flap. The present work studies the vascular supply of the pericranial temporo-parietal region in order to assess the possibility of harvesting a galeo-pericranial flap based on the superficial temporalis vascularization.

This technical note aims to demonstrate the usefulness, indications and its limitations of augmentation technique by bipedicle galeo-pericranial rotation flap and by monopedicle galeo-pericranial flap, both in STA (superficial temporal artery) branch compromised hosts in salvage frontotemporal cranioplasty. Although these flaps are not always idealistically vascularized owing to accidental injuries to the STA branches during previous surgeries, they are properly augmenting after salvage frontotemporal craniotomy when infection is not active. The procedure is indicated for salvage frontotemporal craniotomy when vasculature is needed at the surgical site, such as beneath the skin incision line in a thin injured scalp, onto the titanium plates or beneath the fragile fibrous scar.

Background: Nasomaxillary dysplasia (Binder syndrome) and cleft are congenital malformations of the midface. Ideally, the nasal deformity is treated from childhood. This approach leads to the need for several surgeries and revisions until full growth is reached.
