The galeal-temporal flap consists of galeal aponeurosis and superficial temporal fascia. The goal of this experiment is the testing of the use of the galeal-temporal flap in reconstruction of defects of the maxillo-facial region and establishing of indications for the use of this flap. Over the period from 1989 to 1992 at the Department of Maxillo-Facial Surgery within the School of Dentistry, University of Belgrade, 15 galeal-temporal flaps in 14 patients who agreed with this reconstruction, were performed. ⋯ Of 15 used flaps in 12 patients it was completely taken (80%). Epithelization of the galea in the oral cavity was clinically verified between 9 and 14 days. Indications for the use of galeal-temporal flap in maxillo-facial surgery were as pollows: large intraoral defects, full thickness cheek defects, craniofacial deformities and scalp defects involving external bone previously treated by radiation, as the basis for the free skin graft.
