Abstract

We use the Galeal pericranial flap with the temporal vessels. Its high vascular content and its low esthetic and functional after effects are very interesting. The dissection between the outside of the flap and the subcutaneous tissue is difficult. The Galeal epicranial flap can cover wounds of orobuccopharynx, otopoiesis and loss of facial substance. We use it for arranging open technic and also for sealing the skull base.
