[The blood supply of galeotemporal flap: an anatomical and radiographic study].

: Galea flap (GF) consists of two parts: Galea aponeurotica and superficial layer of temporal muscle. This flap is useful in plastic and reconstructive surgery of the defects of oral mucosa, lips, but also in reconstruction of orbital floor defects. Many authors have stressed that most of troubles in GF as reconstruction are caused by its neurosis due to its vascular net, i.e. one or several of important branches have been cut. Their experience have forced us, as GF is not the routine technique in our country, to provide an investigation using cadaveric material and arteriographies of the patients without pathological changes in GF area.
