Stabilization technique for columella using trimmed autologous Temporal Fascia in type III and IV tympanoplasty – muffler method
Acta oto-laryngologica. Supplementum, 2007Co-Authors: Shin-ichi Kanemaru, Juichi Ito, Jun Tsuji, Kiyohiro Fujino, Harukazu Hiraumi, Koichi OmoriAbstract:Conclusion: High success rates of recovery of hearing level in type III and IV tympanoplasty could be achieved by this stabilization technique for columella using trimmed autologous Temporal Fascia. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate a new stabilization technique for columella using trimmed autologous Temporal Fascia in type III and IV tympanoplasty. Patients and methods: A total of 55 patients (21 male, 34 female, aged 4–85 years) with chronic otitis media (n=16) and cholesteatoma (n=39) underwent tympanoplasty using this new stabilization technique for columella. Thirty-one patients underwent type III tympanoplasty and 24 patients underwent type IV tympanoplasty. Forty-two patients underwent a staged operation and 13 patients underwent a single operation. The observation period was 3.5 years from 6 months after the last operation. Results: The overall success rates in type III and IV tympanoplasty were 87.1% (27/31) and 83.3% (20/24), respectively. Two of eight patients for whom the proced...

Correction of upper eyelid retraction using deep Temporal Fascia spacer grafts.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 2008Co-Authors: Graham S. Schwarz, Henry M. SpinelliAbstract:BACKGROUND Upper eyelid retraction may occur as a manifestation of infiltrative disease, previous surgery, or trauma. It is associated with dry eye syndrome and corneal compromise. The authors evaluate a lid-lengthening procedure performed through a lid crease incision that uses modified levator recession coupled with autologous deep Temporal Fascia upper lid spacer grafting. METHODS Records of 15 patients (22 lids) treated by a single surgeon were reviewed retrospectively. Dry eye symptoms, scleral show, lagophthalmos, and keratopathy were evaluated. Each patient underwent slit lamp examination and a Schirmer's test. RESULTS Degrees of preoperative scleral show and lagophthalmos were 1.6 +/- 0.7 mm and 1.9 +/- 0.7 mm, respectively. Every patient experienced complete resolution of dry eye symptoms, scleral show (p < 0.001), and lagophthalmos (p < 0.001) following repair. Symmetry was achieved in 73 percent of patients. Overcorrection occurred in four lids (18 percent) and required lid-shortening operations in three. There were no instances of undercorrection or recurrence. No major complications were noted. Graft resorption, extrusion, and infection did not occur. Lid margin contour was consistently excellent. Mean follow-up was 30 months. CONCLUSIONS The authors' technique is efficacious, durable, and safe. Autogenous deep Temporal Fascia is easy to harvest and manipulate. Complications associated with other repairs including recurrence and contour irregularities are avoided. Asymmetry, in this series, resulted solely from overcorrection, and the authors' reoperation rate (13.6 percent) compares favorably with that of other methods of repair. Overall patient satisfaction remains excellent. Deep Temporal Fascia interposition is a powerful technique for the repair of upper lid retraction.

Reconstruction of traumatic orbital floor defect using titanium mesh combined with deep Temporal Fascia
Journal of Traumatic Surgery, 2011Co-Authors: Chen Li-jieAbstract:Objective To explore a new method for the reconstruction of the orbital bursting fracture and orbital floor defect.Methods Totally 6 cases received the operation.During the operation,the subciliary approach was made to expose the orbital floor defect,then the entrapped or prolapsed orbital tissues were repositioned under direct vision.Through a hairline incision,a 3cm×5 cm deep Temporal Fascial strip was cut.A titanium mesh was shaped to fit the defect and embedded with the deep Temporal Fascial strip.Then the complex was implanted into the orbit and repaired the orbital floor defect.Results All the operations had been done successfully with no complications.The follow-up time was 6 months.The globe appearance and motor function were satisfied.Conclusion This study has demonstrated that titanium mesh combined with deep Temporal Fascia is an ideal method for the reconstruction of orbital floor defect.

Use of the double-layered free Temporal Fascia flap for upper extremity coverage☆
The Journal of hand surgery, 1994Co-Authors: Yuichi Hirase, Tadao KojimaAbstract:Two layers of Fascia exist in the Temporal region, the temporoparietal Fascia and the deep Temporal Fascia. Both can be elevated on a single vascular pedicle based on the superficial Temporal artery, the double-layered Temporal Fascia flap. In our study, six patients who underwent upper limb coverage using the double-layered Temporal Fascia flap are reviewed, and the versatility of this thin flap is discussed.

Double-layered free Temporal Fascia flap as a two-layered tendon-gliding surface.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery, 1991Co-Authors: Yuichi Hirase, Tadao Kojima, Hwang-hyun BangAbstract:We report the use of a two-layered free Fascial flap consisting of temporoparietal and deep Temporal Fascia based on a single vascular pedicle, the superficial Temporal artery and vein. The flap was used to reconstruct an extensive degloving injury of the dorsum of the hand, in which multiple intact extensor tendons lay fully exposed on all sides, with exposed bone beneath them. By sandwiching the tendons between the layers of vascularized Fascia, gliding surfaces were provided, both superficial and deep to the exposed tendons. The single-stage reconstruction was completed with a split-thickness skin graft. The patient returned to heavy manual work within 12 weeks of injury. He obtained an excellent range of movement without the need for tenolysis.
