Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical effect of temporalis myoplasty during cranioplasty on patients with cranial defects. Methods The clinical data of 111 patients with cranial defects who undergoing cranioplasty during January 2013 and December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The temporalis myoplasty was performed during the cranioplasty. Results The exercise of temporal muscle function was performed 1 month after the operation. All patients were followed up from 3 to 6 months. The bilateral temporal region was symmetrical, and the skin incision healing was good. There was no anterior temporal region collapse, depressed deformity of temporal muscle, and temporal muscle atrophy. All temporalis functions were reserved. Conclusion The temporalis myoplasty during cranioplasty can effectively restore the temporal region appearance and temporalis function, and then improve the therapeutic effect of cranioplasty.
