Application of Superficial Temporal Artery Flap in Wound Repairing After the Resection of Craniofacial Malignant Tumors

Conclusions: The STA flap is reliable for wound repairing after resection of craniofacial malignant tumors. The STA parietal branch flap is preferred for repairing scalp defects, while the STA frontal branch flap is preferred for repairing facial defects. However, the STA flap should be used prudently due to its disadvantage of the deformity in scalp donor sites.
