“…The temporalis muscle transfer was popularized by Gillies [8], by using slips of muscle acting as a suspension for eyelid and lip rehabilitation. McLaughlin [17] modified the technique by moving the coronoid portion of the temporalis muscle.…”

In the case of aged patients with chronic facial palsy with severe muscular atrophy, muscle transposition is a good alternative in order to supply some form of movement. The masseter muscle may be transposed through either an intra-or extraoral approach. In the extraoral technique, most of the surgical details have been well documented, except the relationships between the masseter muscle and the parotid duct. Considering the anatomic direction of the parotid duct, a perfect axis of traction is available in order to lift both lips and the buccal commissure. Ten cases of extraoral masseter muscle transposition above the parotid duct were analyzed. Complete facial paralysis resulted from tumor extirpation (seven cases), arteriovenous malformation (two cases) or trauma (one case). The patients' ages ranged from 47 to 76 years with a median age of 60 years; seven patients were female and three male. The duration of the palsy prior to the muscle transposition, ranged from 8 months to 18 years. The overall results were satisfactory in nine cases. Extraoral masseter muscle transposition is particularly attractive as a primary procedure, because of its efficiency in elderly patients with long-standing facial palsy. As a secondary procedure, masseter transposition may be considered as good an alternative for rehabilitation, when other reconstructive techniques have failed.

“…17). Harold Gillies (1882Gillies ( -1960, le grand plasticien, d'origine néozélandaise, est souvent considéré comme le premier à s'être servi du muscle dans ce but [51]. En fait, il ne fit pas une myoplastie pure mais une transposition-suspension avec un faisceau du muscle désinséré de la fosse temporale, uni à des bandes de fascia lata, ellesmêmes suturées à un anneau péribuccal (Fig.…”

“…Certaines techniques associent suspension et myoplastie. Gillies,[51] dans son procédé met en avant l'utilisation du fascia lata qui entoure le faisceau du temporal. Fischer prolonge le masséter par des bandelettes de fascia lata [73], que Owens, en 1947 utilise en boucles autour du masséter [74].…”

“…1 The temporalis muscle was first used in reanimation of the face by Gillies in 1934. 2 With the advent of microneurovascular muscle transfers in the 1970s, focus moved towards free tissue transfer to reanimate the smile. 3 In 1996, Labbè and Huault described the lengthening temporalis myoplasty (LTM) technique.…”
