Abstract
The vast majority of temple defects can be repaired in a linear fashion. Smaller defects (width < 1 cm) can be repaired parallel to the RSTL. Those that are larger (width 1-3 cm) or more medially located can be repaired perpendicular to the RSTL, using loose cheek skin for the closure. Very large defects (width > 3-5 cm) or those with limited cheek mobility may require flaps or skin grafts for closure.
