The authors emphasize the interest of using the fascial temporal superficial flap for the reconstruction of an oropharynx after tumoral removal. The intrinsic qualities of this aponevrotic flap (rich vascularization, plasticity, finness, absence of after effects for the doner) have made it a particularly innovative instrument in this field. They expose their experience through nine patients and specify the place of this mean of reconstruction.
